Zamalek Sporting Club (Arabic: نادي الزمالك الرياضي), commonly referred to as Zamalek, is an Egyptian sports club based in Giza, Egypt. The club is mainly known for its professional football team, which currently plays in the Egyptian Premier League, the top tier of the Egyptian football league system.[1]
The club was founded on 5 January 1911 as Qasr El Nile Club and was first headed by the Belgian lawyer George Marzbach. The name was changed, two years later, to Cairo International Sports Club, commonly abbreviated as C.I.S.C.[2], which was colloquially translated to the Arabic name Nady El Qāhirah El Mokhtalat or simply Nady El Mokhtalat. The club was named in 1941 after King Farouk of Egypt and became known as Nady Farouk El Awal, meaning Farouk I Club. Following the 1952 Egyptian revolution, the club name was once again changed to its current name.[3]
Zamalek established itself as a major force in Egyptian football during the 1920s, becoming the first Egyptian team to ever win a title which was the Sultan Hussein Cup in 1921, the first team to ever win Egypt Cup in 1922,[4] and the first team to ever win Cairo League in 1922/1923.[5] It is one of two clubs that have played in every season of the Egyptian Premier League, and one of seven clubs that have never been relegated to the Egyptian Second Division. On the continental side, Zamalek has won five CAF Champions League titles, one CAF Confederation Cup title, four CAF Super Cup titles and one African Cup Winners' Cup title; making it one of the most successful clubs in Africa. It is also recognized as the first Egyptian team to ever win CAF Super Cup when it beat archrival Al-Ahly in 1994. On the international level, Zamalek is the first Egyptian team to ever win the Afro Asian Cup in 1987, and the most successful to winning it (2 times in 1987 and 1997).

History
Early years, Qasr El Nile Club
Little is known about the very early years of the club. According to historians[7], [8]the club was established by the Belgian lawyer, George Merzbach Bey. On the twenty-fifth of December 1910, Merzbach Bey, while attending Cairo Tramways Company’s Christmas celebration, realized that the company’s guest house hosting the celebration on the Nile banks is suitable as a sports club headquarters. Merzbach Bey then decided to establish a new club for the Belgians, Egyptians, and foreigners. During that time, Gezira Sporting Club, the main sporting club in Cairo, was for the exclusive use of the British Army and unavailable for non-British foreigners and Egyptians. Merzbach Bey left the Christmas celebration with a strong intention to establish the new club in the very place, which is currently occupied by Qasr El Nile casino and the Navy House. For the new club, he chose the name Qasr El Nile, which means Nile Palace. He did not find difficulties to establish the club as he enjoyed strong ties within the Palace of Khedive Abbas II, as well as many friendships with senior officials of the Egyptian society. He was also the private lawyer for both Baron Empain and his Cairo Tramways Company. On January 5th, 1911, the club was established, and it was officially opened on February 6th. The first board of directors consisted of Merzbach Bey as President; Howard Carter, the great archaeologist and Merzbach Bey’s personal friend, as Vice President; and Noah Amin Abdullah, Ahmed Mahmoud Azzam, Khoury Chalhoub (Lebanese, representative of the Cairo Tramways Company), and Paolo Esposito (Italian, representative of the Khedivial Palace) as members. It was the first club in Cairo to emerge from non-English expatriate communities. They formed sports and social clubs, each with its own identity.[9] An essential aspect of the club was that it was for all people and not for any specific social, economic, or ethnic community. It started out and continued through World War I under the presidency of Merzbach.
Cairo International Sports Club (C.I.S.C.), Nady El Mokhtalat (1913–1941)
In 1913, the club moved to a second headquarters at the intersection of the current day 26th of July and Ramses streets and changed its name to Cairo International Sports Club (C.I.S.C.) which was colloquially translated to the Arabic name Nady El Qāhirah El Mokhtalat or simply Nady El Mokhtalat. The second president was Nicola Arfagi, who also played left wing for the club's football team. In 1917, Egyptian members attempted to form an Egyptian board for the club, but this was blocked by the president of the club, a Frenchman called M. Bianchi, and the secretary M. Shoudoi, who was Belgian, and as a result, no general members meetings were held for the next few years.This era was the beginning of Zamalek's moniker of "Qahir-al-Aganib" (the conqueror of foreigners) due to their many underdog wins against renowned foreign teams[10] In 1921, Zamalek won the Sultan Hussein Cup, becoming the first Egyptian team to ever win a title.
In 1922, Zamalek won the first Egyptian Cup in its history and the first cup tournament to be held in Egypt.
The Egyptian members realized that it was important to gain a majority at the next general members meeting. As a result, when the next elections were held, the first Egyptian board was elected with Mohammad Badr as President, Mostafa Hassan as Deputy President, Ibrahim Allam as General Secretary, and Nicola Arkaji, Mahmoud Bassyouni, Hussein Fawzy and Abdo El Jabalawy as board members. After the first board, a new board in 1923 was formed with General Mohamed Heidar as president and Youssef Mohamad as secretary. In the winter of 1924, the club moved for the third time to a location on the west bank of the River Nile, and west of Gezira island (a.k.a. Geziret Al Zamalek), and became known as Cairo International Sports Club - Zamalek.[11] The 1924 location is currently occupied by El Balloon Theater.
Nady Farouk El Awal (1941–1952)
In 1941, Farouk I, King of Egypt and Sudan, bestowed the royal sponsorship on the club, and the club name was changed to Nady Farouk El Awal (Farouk I Club). Mohamed Heidar Pasha, the club president at the time, was informed by the royal decision to change the name to Farouk I Club and accordingly Ismail Bak Shirin of Mohammed Ali's family took the post of the vice president of the club.

This period witnessed the biggest victories in the history of the Cairo derby (contested with Al Ahly), a pair of 6–0 wins for Zamalek in 1942 and 1944. This record scoreline in the Cairo derby has not been broken since then.
Zamalek Sporting Club and the post-1952 period
Following the army coup in 1952, the club was renamed Zamalek after the area where the club was situated. The club later moved for the fourth time in its history to its final destination on 26 July Street, just 500 meters west of the Zamalek bridge, occupying an area of 35 acres (140,000 m2) and hosting 24 different sports. A new board was formed with Mohammad Shawky as president and secretary and Mohammad Hassan Helmy as assistant secretary. At the time, the rules required that half the club board be changed every year, and Helmy took the position of secretary-general. In 1954, the stadium needed renovations, so the board sought a businessman to take over the club and guide the renovation. Abd El Hamid El Shawarbi took the presidency and, although, he was elected for a second period, he was not able to do the job he wanted. Zamalek Faithful figures as Heidar Pasha and Haj Sayed El Annany contributed to forming the VIP stand and the first-class stand in a way that suited the high status of the club. This happened while El Shawarbi was outside Egypt, so when he came back, he resigned and the board continued after Shawky stepped up from his Deputy position to continue till September 1955. Still, the idea of bringing a businessman to help the club did not subside, and thus, the businessman Abd El Latif Abo Regeila became the club president in 1956; by then, the rules had been changed allowing the board to stay for 3 years. Once again, Shawky stepped down for the new businessman, although he was re-elected as a club president. Although Regeila was re-elected for a second term, he had to leave Egypt after he lost his money due to the governmental policy against private property. Still the club continued to search for another businessman, and chose Alwe El Gazzar, the owner of El Sheikh Sherieb Company and the president of the board of the Coca-Cola Company at the time.
Golden Era 1960–1999
Abdel Latif Abu Regaila is an Egyptian businessman and pioneer of public transport buses in Cairo. During his reign, the construction of the Zamalek Stadium was established, as well as the social building continued as the club's official president until 1961.In 1961, Zamalek paid Real Madrid to play against them.
Hamada Emam was a popular player on the club who helped raise the club's profile. In 1962, there was a new board with Hassan Amer as a president and emeritus deputy Mohammad Shawky, Mohammad Lateef, Galal Kereitam, Mahmoud Emam, and Mahmoud Hafez. Hassan Amer stayed as president until the defeat of the Egyptian army in 1967.
Hassan Shehata,One of the best players in Egypt and Africa throughout history is a player and coach who was an integrated player on the defensive and offensive levels. He is considered the best player in the history of Egyptian football for what he presented and got the best player in Asia.He Made the popularity of Zamalek, especially in the Arab Gulf region After retirement, he achieved three championships with the nations of Africa and the latest boom Great inside the national team, playing the Intercontinental Cup, and playing the Egyptian team with a high and honorable level [12]. led Zamalek in the 1963/64 season as the team won the league for the second time.
In 1968, during the War of Attrition Zamalek hosted the Ismaily and Al masry clubs and rest of the Suez Canal teams at its grounds Confirming to his role for helping his brothers.
In 1967, the Minister of Youth and Sports Talat Khairy decided that the club boards would be appointed rather than elected, and hence Mohammed Hassan Helmy took the presidency[13] to become the first sportsman in Egypt to become a president of a club. He became an icon of Zamalek. He remained president until July 1971 where the rules were changed to allow board elections again and to forbid anyone from being president if they had already held to presidency for two consecutive terms. Tawfeek El Kheshen took over the presidency and the honorary presidency was given to Helmy. In 1973, Helmy was elected president and stayed as the head of the board till 1984.
Zamalek won the first African title against Nigeria's Shooting Stars after beating them in Cairo 2-0 and in Nigeria 0-1.In 1984 Hassan Amer became president, followed by Hasan Abo el Fetouh in 1988. During his period, a new rule from the Ministry of Youth increasing the number of elected board members to ten, which was reduced in 1990. Under Fetouh, the club built many new buildings, including a gymnasium that is considered one of the biggest in the Middle East. He also increased the funding for most of the sports teams in the club and assisted in the winning of many championships during his era. In 1990, Galal Ibrahim became the temporary president of the club due to the death of Fetouh until September 1990, when the general club meeting was held and elected Mohamad Nour El Daly as the president. In 1992, Galal Ibrhim became the new president. The rules were changed to require that the vice treasurer be selected mostly by the board members; Hamada Emam was selected by default to that position while Abdel Hamid Shaheen was elected treasurer. The board members were Ahmed Shereen Fawzy, Mahmoud Marouf, Mohamad Fayez El Zummur, Raouf Gaser, and Tarek Ghonaim. The new rules required the board to have two members under the age of 30. For these two spots, Samy Abo El Kheir and Ihab Ibrahim were elected. The members appointed by the high committee for youth and sports were Mohamad Amer, General Hanafy Reyad, and Farouk Abo El Nasr. By 1994, Abdel Hamid Shaheen was not able to continue his duties due to his sickness, but the board chose to keep him in the position in honor of his devotion to the club, and thus Farouk Abo El Nasr was appointed to take over the duties while keeping Shaheen in the position. In 1995, changes came to the board due to the court removal of four members in the board due to their six absences from board meetings. These members included Mahmoud Marouf, Mohamad Fayez El Zummur, and Dr. Mohamad Amer. The newly appointed members were Mortada Mansour, Mahmoud Abdallah, Mounnir Hassan, and Ibrahim Latif. The high committee for youth and sports objected on linking the appointed members with the elected ones, so Mounnir Hassan and Ibrahim Latif forfeited their positions for the good of the club and to remove any embarrassment happening to the board.
Ahmed Hossam Mido is one of the best players in Africa and Egypt, started his football career in 1999 and played at the age of sixteen years of age, and after that, he made a career in many European teams.After retirement, he trained the club team and won the Egypt Cup in 2014 as the youngest Egyptian coach to win a championship [14] The newly two appointed members for the club board were Mohamad Amer and Farouk Abo El Nasr in support of their abilities and dedication. Shereen Fawzy was selected to be treasurer till the new elections. On Thursday 4 July, Abd El Menem Emarah decided to release the club board and the Egyptian Football Federation board after the sad incidence in the game between Ahly and Zamalek season 95/96, as the board decided to freeze the football activity in the club. A one-year temporary club board was selected with Kamal Darweesh as president, Abd EL Aziz Kabil as vice president, and board members Hanafy Reyad, Magdy Sharaf, Ismail Selim, Azmy Megahed, and Mohamad Abd El Rahman Fawzy. Also, accountant Mahmoud Badr El Deen was appointed as treasurer.
