Muzhir, the official spokesperson for Union Jeddah, has sparked widespread interaction following his bold statement regarding the popularity of the two Egyptian clubs in the Gulf region, indicating that Zamalek surpasses Al-Ahly in popularity there.

During his appearance on the program "Ya Masaa Al-Anwar", Muzhir was asked about his football allegiance, to which he responded: "I am a Zamalek fan and I love Zamalek, but Al-Ahly is a big club and its status is preserved."

In response to a direct question from the media figure Medhat Shalaby, Muzhir emphasized that Zamalek's popularity exceeds that of Al-Ahly in the Gulf countries, a statement that has generated significant interaction among fans of both clubs on social media.

It is worth noting that Union Jeddah, represented by Muzhir, has achieved major successes this season, having won the Saudi Roshan League title, along with securing the King’s Cup.

These statements come at a time when comparisons between Al-Ahly and Zamalek are increasing at both local and Arab levels, whether in terms of championships or the size of the fan base extending in the Gulf countries.
