The Cairo giants now await the official lifting of the sanction by the governing football body, according to the club.

The transfer ban had prevented Zamalek from making any summer signings due to their failure to pay the dues owed to Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon for the transfer of their captain Mahmoud 'Shikaballa' Abdel-Razek back in 2015.

Additionally, the club was involved in other cases, including outstanding dues to former Ghanaian player Benjamin Acheampong and the club of Beninese forward Samson Akinyoola.

"After extensive and challenging negotiations, the club has successfully resolved all financial dues and fines with all parties involved," the club announced on their official X account on Thursday.

"We have resolved 14 cases and now await an official letter from FIFA confirming the lifting of the transfer ban."

Following a disastrous season that saw Zamalek finish in third place in the domestic league, the club was desperate for necessary recruitment.

However, they were unable to do so due to the transfer ban imposed on them.

Currently, the White Knights find themselves in 12th place on the league table with 11 points from eight matches, trailing leaders ZED FC by eight points, who have played two more matches.

If the transfer ban is officially lifted, the club will have the opportunity to strengthen their squad and rescue their season in the ongoing winter transfer window, which closes at the end of this month.
