The 34-year-old arrives from Romanian side CS Dinamo București, where he spent the past three seasons and won two domestic cups.
Zein also had a brief but successful stint at Spanish powerhouse Barcelona in 2021, helping the Catalan club secure a sweep of titles including the EHF Champions League, Liga ASOBAL, Copa del Rey, Copa ASOBAL and Supercopa ASOBAL.
At Veszprem, Zein will link up with fellow Egyptians Yehya El-Deraa, who joined the club in 2022, and newcomers Ahmed Adel and Ahmed Hisham, who are set to arrive this summer from Ahly and France’s Montpellier, respectively.
Zein is regarded as one of Egypt’s most accomplished handball players, having played a key role in the national team’s dominance on the continent, winning four African Championship titles.
He was also part of the Egyptian squad that achieved a historic fourth-place finish at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Veszprem, one of Europe’s top handball clubs, added to their honors by winning the IHF Super Globe in Cairo in 2024.
