Meanwhile, the Zamalek Club's technical staff, led by Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro, has temporarily closed the chapter on the Confederation Cup after completing the first leg of the quarter-finals against Stellenbosch from South Africa. The Zamalek team is now gearing up for a strong and anticipated match against Modern Sport, set to take place in the fourth round of the Cairo Cup.

The match between Zamalek and Modern Sport will be held at 7 PM on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at the Cairo International Stadium. The On Sport channel will broadcast the match, featuring a lineup of top sports analysts.

As April unfolds, Zamalek's first team kicks off the month with a match against Stellenbosch in the quarter-finals of the Confederation Cup on April 9, 2025. Following this, Zamalek will face Haras El-Hodoud in the Egyptian League on April 13, and then Smouha in the Cairo Cup on April 16.

In a related development, Zamalek officials, under the presidency of Hussein Labib, are refusing to surrender in the negotiations regarding the renewal of Ahmed Mustafa Zizou's contract. Recent hours have seen serious discussions about a potential transfer to Al-Ahly Club this coming summer. The Zamalek administration and the planning committee are working diligently to present a suitable offer for Zizou, aligning it with the foreign offers he has received in recent times. They aim to secure a signing bonus before the negotiation session.

As Zamalek navigates through these competitive matches and contract negotiations, the club remains focused on solidifying its roster while ensuring that its players are prepared for the challenges ahead. The upcoming matches promise to be pivotal for the team as they aim for success across various competitions.
