Zamalek channel calls on the public to collect donations in the German and Tunisian manner
The Zamalek Club channel, through its broadcaster and former player Khaled Al-Ghandour, called on the fans of the White Castle to contribute to solving the club's financial crisis, and demanded the board of directors to open a bank account to collect donations from businessmen, poles and fans of the club in the manner of European and Arab clubs that preceded it in the rescue mechanism such as Borussia Dortmund, the German and African Tunisian.
Al-Ghandour said on Zamalek TV yesterday, Wednesday: "There is nothing to prevent the implementation of the idea of opening a bank account in front of the Zamalek fans in order to contribute to solving the club's problems. There are many clubs that have opened bank accounts for the fans, and there are many businessmen belonging to the Zamalek club."
He explained, "If you go to a person and tell him we want a million pounds, he will not pay, but if there is a bank account, businessmen and the masses can put sums of money according to the ability of each person, and thus funds are collected that contribute to solving the problems of Zamalek, such as Borussia Dortmund and the Tunisian African," 100 million can be collected I ask the administration to think about it, and this matter has nothing to do with your club calling you and the previous matters. "

In 2003, Borussia Dortmund was exposed to a major financial crisis that led to the near declaration of bankruptcy and then relegation to the second division, but the fans of the club gathered by the thousands to prevent the sale of the club and began campaigns for donations and launched a campaign to buy shirts and official scarves from the club's stores as well as buying a huge number of seasonal tickets. This boosted the treasury with millions of euros and the club returned to normal.

The campaign launched by the fans of the Club Africain of Tunisia with the slogan: "One million dinars in one day" has achieved great success in correcting the club's way financially. A member of the committee overseeing the bank account of the African Club, Mahdi Al-Gharbi, said in a previous statement: "The demand of the fans of the club to donate and participate in the campaign exceeded all Expectations… This is a historic day. The total amount of donations in one day only reached one million and 146 thousand dinars.
It is reported that donations later reached 2 million 780 thousand dinars.
