Angolan player Chico Panza, who plays for Zamalek SC, participated in the team's training session held this evening, Saturday, at the Military Academy Stadium, as part of the final preparations for the upcoming match against ZESCO United of Zambia in the opening round of the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup.

Banza appeared in training after arriving in Cairo in the past few hours, having been granted permission to delay his return due to the death of his brother, allowing him to participate normally in the team's final preparations.

The final training session included a light workout segment led by Costa Robeiro, the strength and conditioning coach, featuring various physical exercises along with light ball drills, aimed at maintaining the players' readiness ahead of the upcoming match.

Ahmed Rabie and the Moroccan Mahmoud Bentayek also carried out individual rehabilitation training sessions on the sidelines of the practice, as part of their recovery program.

Ahmed Abdel Raouf, the technical director of Zamalek, made sure to dedicate a technical and tactical session for the players, which included precise instructions to carry out the required directives, before the team concluded their training with an intense technical scrimmage.

Zamalek is preparing to face ZESCO at 9 PM tomorrow, Sunday, at Cairo International Stadium, as part of the first round of the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup.
