Zamalek board member refuses football company assembly over stake guarantees

Ahmed Sleiman has refused Zamalek's December 8 general assembly, demanding guarantees before the football company shares are offered.

• Sleiman announced he would not back the assembly, scheduled for December 8, 2026, without guarantees, recording his objection in board minutes.
• He set six conditions, including keeping the controlling stake with the club, independent valuation from at least three candidates, and weekend voting.
• He said awarding the investor the full company share would privatize the club, and noted Madbouh Abbas had donated 600 million pounds.
• He said the roughly 12,900-member quorum could not be reached on a weekday and urged the ministry to move the date.
