Pyramids Sign Pascal Feri, Snubbing Utrecht as They Target the 2029 World Cup
26 January 2026
Transfer focus
A source at Pyramids says the signing of Zambian winger Pascal Feri fits into a rejuvenation plan to contend in the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, where the club will take part as Africa's champions.
The source told Koora that Feri is among Africa's brightest young talents and will be registered under the age limit in Pyramids' squad.
He said the deal came after close watching of his performances for Zesco United, and after his call‑up to the Zambia national team, noting he was in the final squad for the Zambia side that competed in the recent Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
He added that Feri chose Pyramids despite receiving several offers from Dutch side Utrecht and four other Egyptian clubs, preferring to play for Africa's champions.
Pyramids had previously signed Nasser Maher (Zamalek midfielder) and Hamad Hamdan, a midfielder from Petrojet.
Punchline: If his left foot had a passport, it would already be stamped GOAL.
Punchline 2: And when Utrecht calls, Pascal will politely say, nice try — but I’m staying to help Africa shine.
Context and next steps
Pyramids’ new signing will join a squad that is undergoing a refresh ahead of continental competition and the world stage, with age‑group registration helping to balance youth and experience.
Note: if football talent were a vaccine, Feri would be the shot of move‑tastic optimism the bench needed.
