Zamalek sign Pharco FC forward Ahmed Sherif
Zamalek have officially secured the signature of forward Ahmed Sherif from Pharco FC on a five‑year contract, the Cairo giants announced on Tuesday. The 22-year-old becomes Zamalek's fourth signing of the summer transfer window, following the arrivals of his teammate Amr Nasser on Monday, and goalkeeper El-Mahdi Soliman and Angolan winger Chico Banza on Sunday. Sherif scored 13 goals in 109 games across all competitions for Pharco FC since joining the club from second-tier side Wadi Degla in 2021. The White Knights are revamping their squad as they look to bounce back from a disappointing campaign that saw them finish third in the league and exit the CAF Confederation Cup in the quarter-finals, failing to defend their title. The club began their rebuild last month with the appointment of Belgian coach Yannick Ferrera as their new manager, replacing interim manager Ayman El-Ramady, who had guided the team in the Egypt Cup. The new Egyptian Premier League season is scheduled to kick off in 8 August.

Zamalek sign veteran goalkeeper El-Mahdi Soliman on two-year deal - Egyptian Football
Egyptian Premier League side Zamalek have signed veteran goalkeeper El-Mahdi Soliman on a free transfer, the club announced on Sunday. The 38-year-old joins on a two-year deal after leaving Ittihad of Alexandria.

Iga Świątek Defeats Anisimova to Clinch Historic Wimbledon Title
Rana Atef On Saturday, Poland's Iga Świątek delivered a flawless performance to win one of the most prestigious titles of her career, the Wimbledon Championships. It is her sixth major overall, crushing American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the final. With this emphatic victory, Świątek not only became the first Polish player to win Wimbledon in the Open Era, but she also soared to No. 3 in the world rankings, effective early next week. Świątek needed just 57 minutes to dispatch Anisimova in a final that will go down in history for its sheer dominance. The Polish star broke her opponent in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th games of the opening set, wrapping it up in just 25 minutes. The second set unfolded in identical fashion, with Świątek applying relentless pressure to clinch the match in under an hour. This marks Świątek's first Wimbledon title and adds to her impressive Grand Slam tally, which already includes four French Open titles (2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024) and one US Open crown (2022). Saturday's final was the first at Wimbledon to end in a 6-0, 6-0 result since 1911, when Britain's Dorothea Douglass Chambers achieved the same scoreline. Moreover, Świątek became the first player in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam final without dropping a single game. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
