Jordanian Rising Star Fakhouri Heads to Pyramids FC: Farewell in Jordan, Cairo Move Ahead
23 January 2026
Overview
The Jordanian winger Fakhouri bid farewell to Hussein Irbid’s fans as he prepared to leave the club.
He did not feature in Hussein Irbid's league match against Al-Jazeera on Friday night, a 4-0 win for Hussein.
Move to Pyramids
The 20-year-old has reached a near-final agreement with Egyptian side Pyramids to move during the winter transfer window.
He held a video conference with Pyramids officials and coach Krunoslav Jurčić, and will travel to Cairo to sign and undergo medicals.
The release clause is set at 100,000 dollars, and Fakhouri has received three offers from Al Ahly, Pyramids, and Dinamo Zagreb.
While he had leaned toward Dinamo Zagreb, he now prefers Pyramids for regular playing time, with plans to explore European opportunities after the next World Cup.
Punchline 1: If this transfer were a joke, the punchline would be "it's a done deal"—and the crowd would go wild in Cairo.
Punchline 2: In football terms, that’s what you call a clean sweep: goodbye Hussein Irbid, hello Pyramids.
