Zamalek president Labib calls for fans’ support amid challenging period

Zamalek president Hussein Labib has called on the club’s supporters to rally behind the team as they prepare for a challenging period in their pursuit of domestic and continental success.

The Egyptian giants are aiming to defend their Egyptian Premier League title while also targeting a return to the top of African football by winning the CAF Champions League.

Speaking through the club’s official application, Zamalekawy, Labib praised the supporters and stressed the importance of their backing.

“We love the fans of Zamalek Club. They are great supporters, and we always need them behind the team,” he said.

He further described Zamalek’s supporters as among the best in the world, insisting that their presence and encouragement would be crucial to the team’s ambitions.

“The team needs the fans. The best fans in the world are the fans of Zamalek Club,” Labib added.

The club president also expressed confidence in the team’s coaching setup, backing national coach Moataz Gamal to deliver positive results with the supporters’ backing.

“We have a competent national coach, and with the fans behind the team, we will get the best results,” he said.

Zamalek currently occupy third position in the Egyptian Premier League with 19 points from eight matches, having recorded six wins, one draw and one defeat.

On the continental front, the Cairo-based club have been drawn in Group B of the CAF Champions League, alongside Tunisia’s Club Africain, Algeria’s Mouloudia Club and Tanzania’s Young Africans.

Labib will be hoping the supporters’ backing can inspire Zamalek to maintain their domestic challenge and mount a serious campaign for continental honours.
