Zamalek welcomes 46,200 fans for key Confederation Cup clash against ZESCO United

Excitement is building for Zamalek fans as the club received official approval from security authorities to allow 46,200 supporters to attend their upcoming CAF Confederation Cup opener against Zesco United.

The match, set for Sunday evening at Cairo International Stadium, marks the start of the group stage for Zamalek as they aim for another shot at continental glory.

This announcement sparked celebrations among the White Castle’s loyal fanbase, eager to fill the stands and provide a major boost for their team’s opening fixture on home soil. Club management has emphasized the significance of this turnout, given the fans’ role in motivating the players during this crucial stage.

Alongside this positive news, Zamalek’s board, led by Hussein Labib, announced changes within the coaching staff. The club parted ways with fitness coach Mario Tomljanović after mutual understanding among the chairman and key staff members. The shakeup comes ahead of a demanding African campaign, with the club focused on adding specialized personnel.

Training sessions have resumed at the Military Academy Stadium, and the team’s preparations include checking on the fitness of Adam Kaid after his recent recovery. Zamalek’s technical staff, now under the direction of Ahmed Abdel Raouf, is determined to start their Confederation Cup journey on a high.
