Ismail Yassin's Zamalek Fan Impact on Play
Writer and director Ahmed El Ebiary reminisced about the theatrical play "El Koura Ma’ Balbal," which was halted after just one month of its debut in 1957 due to actor Ismail Yasin's fanaticism for the Zamalek club. He explained that Yasin asked his partner Abu Saud El Ebiary to write a novel about football, in which he would portray a player, and he adopted the nickname "Balbal" in honor of his friend Nabil Nassar. During the performance, Yasin took advantage of his affiliation with Zamalek to make jokes and humorous remarks about their rival team, Al Ahly, which angered actor Mahmoud El Milyagy and prompted him to warn about the potential impact on the audience. As a result, the production was suspended by the management, and later reintroduced under the title "Ahli or Zamalek" in 1961, with Yasin promising not to incite tensions between the two fan bases.
