Zamalek’s Approved Player Fines Fall Short of Announced Penalties

Zamalek’s board has approved player deductions totalling EGP 1.2 million, a sum described as far below the penalties previously announced by the club’s coaching staff.

The board endorsed the deductions at its latest meeting, accepting a memorandum submitted by the technical team led by Hossam Hassan.

The memorandum covered sanctions imposed on first-team players from July through December of the previous year.

The gap between the approved total and the coaching staff’s earlier announcements raises questions about how far the threatened financial penalties were carried through.

No breakdown of the deductions by player or offence was provided in the available details.
