context_page_description: Zamalek Sporting Club, commonly referred to as Zamalek, is an Egyptian sports club based in Giza, Egypt. The club is mainly known for its professional football team, which currently plays in the Egyptian Premier League, the top tier of the Egyptian football league system.

The name was changed, two years later, to Cairo International Sports Club, commonly abbreviated as C.I.S.C., which was colloquially translated to the Arabic name Nady El Qāhirah El Mokhtalat or simply Nady El Mokhtalat. The club was named in 1941 after King Farouk of Egypt and became known as Nady Farouk El Awal, meaning Farouk I Club. Following the 1952 Egyptian revolution, the club name was once again changed to its current name.
  Zamalek established itself as a major force in Egyptian football during the 1920s, becoming the first Egyptian team to ever win a title which was the Sultan Hussein Cup in 1921, the first team to ever win Egypt Cup in 1922, and the first team to ever win Cairo League in 1922/1923.
