The Board of Directors of Zamalek Club, headed by Hussein Labib, announced that the club received today, Thursday, July 16, 2026, the official allocation letter for the new land allocated to the club in the city of October Gardens.
Zamalek indicated in its statement that this is an important step towards implementing the project to establish a new branch for the White Castle.
The receipt of the allocation letter came after completing all necessary procedures and coordinating with the relevant authorities, allowing the club to move to the next stage related to implementing the project.
Immediately, the Board of Directors of Zamalek Club will, in the coming period, begin studying the executive procedures for the project, in preparation for starting work on the new land, according to the set timeline, in a way that contributes to establishing a new branch that meets the aspirations of the General Assembly members and includes integrated sports, social, and service facilities.
The Board of Directors of Zamalek Club affirms that this file is at the top of the club's priorities in the coming period, especially since, a week ago, a memorandum of understanding was signed with one of the major companies in the real estate development field to establish the Zamalek branch in October Gardens City.
Zamalek announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with one of the major contracting companies to establish the club's new branch in October.
Zamalek previously clarified in an official statement that the signed memorandum of understanding included the establishment of the new sports and social club branch and the investment area for the project in October Gardens City.
Zamalek revealed an agreement with the contracting company to begin implementing the project immediately upon receiving the land.
Zamalek officials held a meeting last month with officials from the Ministry of Housing to begin preparations for establishing the club's new branch.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports announced the end of the Zamalek Club land crisis in the 6th of October area, following directives from the political leadership to expedite the procedures for allocating a plot of land to it in a distinguished area in 6th of October City in Giza.
Zamalek's land was withdrawn last August, and the club entered a financial crisis that resulted in its players not receiving their financial dues and filing complaints to terminate their contracts, which led to Zamalek facing registration suspensions on more than one occasion.
Last December, Housing Minister Sherif El-Sherbiny previously revealed that an alternative solution for Zamalek regarding its land would be provided within months.
