History

The history of the club goes back to 1911 when it was founded by the Belgian gentleman Merzbach as a rival to the British founded club El-Ahly. It was administrated mostly - as was the case at that time in Egyptian football - by foreign expatriates. The first football team in the club was formed in 1913. The team took part in domestic competitions along with El-Ahly, El Seka el Hadid club, British army teams and school and college teams.


However at this time, an Egyptian player who had just returned from his studies in Cambridge, UK, named Hussien Hegazy established his own squad, that was named "Hegazy's Eleven" and started to rally with the British Army teams at that time. One of the British teams was a team named "Stanley's Team", that was formed by a British man named Stanley and was made up of a group of British soldiers who were stationed in Egypt. Both teams met twice, and in both matches, Hegazy's Eleven won. Excited by their symbolic resistance to the British, both Egyptian clubs El-Ahly and El-Zamalek sought to bring member's of "Hegazy's Eleven" to their squads. Hegazy joined El-Ahly, while the rest of his team mates joined El-Zamalek. In 1919, Hegazy joined El-Zamalek and the team became the most powerful team in Egyptian soccer at that time. He later rejoined El-Ahly in 1924. This article is about the city in England. ... Al-Ahly (Arabic: النادى الاهلى للرياضة البدنية ) is an Egyptian football club founded and headed by the English gentleman Mitchell Ince in April, 1907 in Cairo, Egypt. ... Year 1919 (MCMXIX) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar). ...


In 1916, the idea of establishing a league in the sultanate of Egypt at that time, where Egyptian teams plays with teams from the allies' military clubs, including the British was getting more developed. El-Zamalek was the first and only Egyptian club to participate in 1916. In 1917 El-Ahly followed Zamalek's footsteps and took part. Both El-Zamalek and El-Ahly also agreed on creating their own two-game competition, the first was on 9 October 1917, which El-Zamalek lost at home 0–1, and the second was on 2 March 1917 which El-Zamalek won on El-Ahly's turf 1–0. is the 282nd day of the year (283rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1917 (MCMXVII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar (see link for calendar) or a common year starting on Tuesday of the 13-day slower Julian calendar (see: 1917 Julian calendar). ... -1... 1917 (MCMXVII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar (see link for calendar) or a common year starting on Tuesday of the 13-day slower Julian calendar (see: 1917 Julian calendar). ...


A Belgian Lawyer and former judge in the "Mixed Courts" named Merzbach became the first President of the club under the name "The Diverse Club" or "Mokhtalat". It is believed the club got this name because the club promoted diversity and was a place where Europeans and Egyptians meet to socialize and practice sports. Some also say that the club was initially built for the Belgian community in face of the British existence.


In 1930, the club's 60 member board met and decided to expel the foreign members of the club. El-Zamalek continued its glory days, winning many titles. The most impressive result was winning against El-Ahly 6–0.[1]. The club changed its name from El-Mokhtalat to "Farouk". After the 1952 Revolution, the club name was changed to "El-Zamalek". The 1952 Revolution was a military coup détat that took place on July 23rd, 1952 by a group of young army officers who named themselves The Free Officers Movement. The revolution initially aimed at overthrowing the corrupted king FaroukI. However, the movement soon decided to abolish the monarchy...


In recent years the club has seen success in several national competitions. The success on the field is in contrast to financial worries off the pitch. In 2004 their financial worries were highlighted after the government’s central auditing agency, along with the youth ministry, accused the club of tax evasion in. The state demanded that the club pay some E£14 million in taxes on several player-transfer deals signed in 2000 and 2001.[2]


From June 2008, Alberto Zaccheroni (Italy, 1953) is the new manager of the team. Zaccheroni managed Udinese, Milan AC, Inter, Lazio and Torino in Italian "Serie A".

Team Colours

White Knights fans see the traditional white kit with 2 red stripes as a good luck omen since the periods of greatest successes for the White Castle came when they were wearing their traditional trademark kit. Currently they are not wearing the traditional kit and have not been wearing it since 2004 which also happens to be the last time they won a title. Many fans are actually requesting the return of that kit.


Supporters

Zamalek fans creating a magnificent scene of the statement (يا رب) meaning "God, give us the cup" because they want their team to win the cup

It is widely believed that Zamalek is the club of choice of Egyptian free-thinkers, those who have a propensity for supporting the underdog, and Egypt's aristocratic class. Zamalek have been known to have a large following, being second only to El Ahly in fan support. Nowadays, these stereotypes exist to a lesser degree since El Ahly now have some rich and influential fans, and Zamalek have now been gaining large support from lower-class areas as well.


Recently fans have been seen to protest against Ahmad Shobair and other members of the Egyptian FA due to decisions that Shobair and co. have made including the suspension of Shikabala and Ahmed Ghanem Sultan from the national team. They were suspended for "not co-operating with their team mates" during the African Olympics 2007 in Algeria. Another decision that has invoked the ire of fans was the large fine given to Amr Zaki for allegedly insulting an opponent. Shikabala has been fined and suspended by the Egyptian FA as well as the Zamalek board due to his violent reactions to taunts during the 100th Cairo derby.===Links with other clubs===

Zamalek fans

Zamalek have a vast amount of "sympathy" from residents of Port-Said and Ismailiya; where locals in these two cities despise Al-Ahly. Zamalek have signed a partnership agreement with Ismaily club along with other clubs that are undisclosed. When compared to Ahly, Zamalek's fan base across Egypt would come second. However, Zamalek fans continue to grow with time at rates second to none, but al Ahly.


Ultras White Knights

Ultras White Knights (Arabic: ألتراس وايت نايتس) are so far Zamalek's only ultras group and they made their first action on 17/4/2007 in the Arab Champions League semi-final home tie against Jordanian champions Al-Faisaly. Their first official banner was unhurled on 13/8/2007 against Ismaily.


The group was founded by ex-ZLU (Zamalek Lovers Union) members who decided that in order to make the atmosphere better, they had to form an ultras group since regular fan unions were very inneficient regarding this matter and within mere weeks the number of members was rapidly increasing which was easy considering Zamalek's huge fanbase all over Egypt and the Arab world.


Ultras White Knights sit in Curva Sud (the east stand) of their home stadium, Cairo Stadium which has an 74,100 capacity.


From June 2008, Alberto Zaccheroni (Italy, 1953) is the new manager of the team. Zaccheroni managed Udinese, Milan AC, Inter, Lazio and Torino in Italian "Serie A".


Links with other clubs

Zamalek fans

Some El-Masry fans are seen to be "allies" with White Castle fans. Tersana fans are regarded as Zamalek supporters as well (and vice-versa) because the two used to share the training stadium and also because of their close geographic location; they are the only two Egyptian clubs to hail from Giza. It is common to see Zamalek banners and flags at Ismaili, El Masry and Tersana games (and vice-versa). In the south of Egypt, support for El Ahly or Zamalek is not entirely clear where cities like Aswan have more Zamalek supporters, whereas El Minia, for example, have more El Ahly fans. In Cairo, districts like Mohandessin, Dokki, 6th of October, Sheikh Zayed and Zamalek have a large number of Zamalek fans. They also have a small following in Alexandria. El-Masry is an Egyptian football club based in Port Said. ... Tersana Sporting Club is an Egyptian football club based in Giza. ...
