Ahmed Eid Arrives at Al Ahly: A Promising Right-Back Shake-Up
Ahmed Eid signs with Al Ahly during the winter window.

Signing Update

Al Ahly announced signing Ahmed Eid, a 25-year-old right-back from El Masry on a three-and-a-half-year deal in the winter window.

The clubs completed all administrative and financial arrangements.

He trained with the squad on Wednesday at Al Ahly's training ground ahead of the CAF match against Young Africans.

Ahmed Eid, 25, began in Al Ahly's youth ranks before moving to Zamalek and being promoted to the first team in 2020.

Eid played 22 matches for Zamalek, with one assist, and had loan spells at Ismaily and Enppi before joining Masry in 2023.

The right-back has appeared 39 times for Masry, scoring two goals, and has represented Egypt at the U23 AFCON, finishing runners-up, and played at Paris 2024.

Punchline: If Eid's pace stays this sharp, even offside flags will file a complaint.

Punchline: In football, miracles happen—just ask the goalposts.
