The Egyptian club Zamalek has faced a series of FIFA sanctions. Since the beginning of November 2025, the federation has imposed seven transfer bans on the club. These measures are a consequence of the club's financial crisis, which has prevented it from paying off debts to former players and coaches. The latest FIFA decision prohibits Zamalek from signing any new players until the summer of2027. For the club's fans, this has been another shocking development, as the situation worsens weekly. "FIFA has demanded that we immediately settle all debts with former employees," the club stated. "Only after this will the restrictions be lifted."
