El-Wensh, who was out of contract at the end of this season, will remain at the White Knights until the end of the 2027–2028 season.
The 29-year-old center-back, who joined Zamalek in summer 2016 from Tala’ea El-Gaish, has now committed to a 12-year stint with the White Knights by the end of his new deal.
Throughout his nine seasons with Zamalek, El-Wensh has played 235 matches across all competitions, contributing to 14 goals and helping the team secure 11 titles (7 domestic and 6 continental).
The defender made his return to action this season after suffering a cruciate ligament tear in February 2024, an injury that followed an earlier partial tear of the same ligament.
Since his recovery, he has featured in 21 matches and even scored a goal against Gouna in the Egypt Capital Cup.
El-Wensh has already helped his teams secure two league titles, along with two CAF Confederation Cups, and two CAF Super Cups.
Additionally, he has also helped the team secure three Egypt Cup trophies and two Egyptian Super Cups, further cementing his role as one of the club’s standout players.
