The 29-year-old severed his contract with the Cairo-based side two months ago and reported the club to FIFA for breach of contract.
According to Ghanasoccernet.com, Agogo told FIFA in a letter that there had been several breaches of his contract and efforts to get the Egyptian FA to resolve the issue fell on deaf ears.
He signed a three-year contract under the leadership of Abbas Mamdouh in July last year but fell out with the new board after the returnee president was ousted.
Zamalek also reported the matter to FIFA and are seeking a US$3 million compensation package from the striker for abrogating his contract.
The ruling could pave the way for Agogo to resume active football after several clubs expressed interest in him.
Greek side Pananios are the frontrunners for his signature, but must beat a host of clubs including French side AJ Auxerre who have lost Kenyan international, Dennis Oliech to Al-Arabi of Qatar.
