Mahmoud Abdel Razek Shikabala, the former Zamalek star, sent an emotional message to the White Knights' fans following the club's qualification for the quarter-finals of the African Confederation Cup.

Shikabala said on his official account: "To the great fans of Zamalek Club, a message of thanks and gratitude that does not do you justice. You are the support in times of hardship, the loud voice in times of joy, and the beating heart in every match."

He continued: "Your presence is not just encouragement; it is a spirit that gives the team strength, determination, and persistence. Your support always proves that loyalty is not about the outcome of a match, but about the love for an entity, history, and values."

He added: "You are the true fuel, and you are the story that continues the club's glory generation after generation. Thank you for your patience, your passion, your cheers that shake the stadium, and your unwavering love. You are the foundation, and you are the first and last support."
