Abou Gabal joined NBE Club in September 2022 after a move to Saudi side Al-Nassr fell through, completing a free transfer from Zamalek.
The 36-year-old goalkeeper made just one appearance for NBE last season after recovering from knee ligament surgery.
The former Enppi and Smouha shot-stopper gained widespread recognition for his instrumental role in Egypt's run to the final of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
He stepped in for Ahly’s injured Mohamed El-Shennawy, and his performances helped the Pharaohs reach the final, where they were narrowly defeated by Senegal in a penalty shootout.
Abou Gabal, who is affectionately known as "Gabaski," also featured for Egypt in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations as El-Shennawy's replacement.
After starting his professional career with Enppi in 2010, Abou Gabal went on to become Zamalek's first-choice goalkeeper, following his standout performances at the 2021 AFCON.
Modern Sport narrowly avoided relegation last season after the Egyptian Pro League decided to cancel relegation for the current campaign.
The Cairo-based club also appointed Magdy Abdel-Atty as their new head coach for the upcoming season.
