Zamalek to reward players huge bonuses after win against Pyramids

Zamalek players are set to receive substantial bonuses following their narrow but crucial 1-0 victory over Pyramids in the 20th round of the Egyptian Premier League over the weekend.

The encounter, hosted at the 30 June Stadium—home of Pyramids—saw Zamalek edge out their rivals to maintain their lead at the top of the league table.

According to sources close to the club, former Zamalek president Mamdouh Abbas personally handed out a cash bonus of one million Egyptian pounds to the players immediately after the final whistle.

The payment took place inside the team’s dressing room, highlighting the club’s commitment to rewarding the players’ performance and dedication.

This immediate recognition came as Zamalek consolidated their position at the summit of the league, signaling the club’s ambition to defend their title.

The win extended Zamalek’s impressive run in the current league season. After 18 matches, the club has secured 12 victories, drawn four times, and suffered only two defeats, giving them a total of 40 points—three points clear of Pyramids, their closest competitors.

Fans have praised the team’s resilience and tactical discipline, particularly in high-stakes encounters like the one against Pyramids, where the margin for error was minimal.

Zamalek’s strong performance this season has been underpinned by a combination of solid defense, creative midfield play, and efficient goal-scoring, allowing them to maintain consistency against both top and mid-table opponents.

The club’s management has emphasized that such rewards are part of a broader strategy to motivate the squad, ensuring that players remain focused and committed as the season moves toward its final stretch.

With the league title race heating up, Zamalek will now look to build on this momentum in upcoming fixtures, aiming to maintain their lead and secure another successful season in Egyptian football.
