CAF Confederation Cup: Enyimba vs Zamalek match in doubt amid financial crisis reports

The CAF Confederation Cup Matchday 2 clash between Nigeria’s Enyimba and Egypt’s Zamalek faces uncertainty due to a financial crisis at the Egyptian club.

Zamalek players have not received their salaries since the season began, creating unrest within the team.

Players have requested advance payments for their new contracts to ease the strain, but their demands remain unmet. Efforts by football director Abdel-Wahid Al-Sayed to mediate have yet to resolve the crisis.

Prominent Egyptian media figure Khaled El-Ghandour highlighted the issue, stating that the financial instability could impact Zamalek’s preparedness for the match.

With the game set to take place at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria, questions linger over whether Zamalek can overcome their challenges and field a competitive side.
