Zamalek secured the 2024 African Super Cup title by defeating rivals Ahly on penalties last month.
In a meeting held on Saturday to address various issues concerning continental tournaments, the CAF Disciplinary Board addressed misconduct charges against Zamalek players Nasser Mansy and Mahmoud 'Shikabala' Abdelrazek Fadlala for their actions during the CAF Super Cup match against Ahly in Saudi Arabia on 28 September 2024.
As a result, the CAF Disciplinary Board has decided to suspend Zamalek's duo, Mansy and Shikabala, for the next three CAF club inter-club competition matches and imposed a fine of USD 10,000 on each player.
Additionally, Zamalek SC has been fined USD 300,000 for the inappropriate conduct of its team and officials, as stated by the Confederation of African Football.
"USD 100,000 of the fine is suspended on the condition that Zamalek SC does not commit a similar offense during the 2024/2025 CAF Inter-Club Competition," concluded CAF in their statement.
Zamalek is set to kick off their CAF Confederation Cup group stage campaign against Black Bulls of Mozambique on 28 November, followed by a match against Enyimba of Nigeria in the second round of the secondary continental tournament a week later.
Their third-round encounter in the Confederation Cup will be against fellow countrymen Masry on 15 December.
