Marked for Mohamed Atef

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match19 Dec 2026

Al Ahly cannot stop winning

11 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Mohamed El Shenawy damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match19 Dec 2026

Al Ahly run riot against Ittihad

4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Match21 Dec 2026

The view from the top for Al Ahly

45 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Both of them Achraf Bencharki's — 8.65

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.65, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

A brace, and Youssef Belammari takes the afternoon — 8.51

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Youssef Belammari provided it, and the 8.51 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Yassin Atef: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Al Ahly have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Achraf Bencharki is carrying Al Ahly

17 goals and a season average of 7.31. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Mohamed Atef is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mohamed El Shenawy

53 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Al Ahly lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match18 Nov 2026

Al Ahly march on in the cup

El Dakhleya are out and Al Ahly go through, 4‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match21 Nov 2026

Al Ahly cannot stop winning

7 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Both of them Ziad Ayoub's — 8.79

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.79, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match23 Nov 2026

Nobody above Al Ahly

First, on 33 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Both of them Soufiane Benjdida's — 8.31

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.31, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

A debut Abdelrahman Mano will not forget — 7.42

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.42 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad23 Nov 2026

6 saves: Oufa Shobeir was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Vintage Hussein El Shahat — 8.33

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.33, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mohamed El Shenawy

119 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Al Ahly lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nicolás Giménez goes up and wins it — 7.99

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.99 for the rest of it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Mohamed Atef is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Al Ahly

Mohamed Hany was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Al Ahly against El Masry

1‑2 to El Masry, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match26 Sep 2026

El Masry end the Al Ahly run at 5

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 5 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Boardroom28 Sep 2026

Inquest at Al Ahly

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Al Ahly training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yasser Ibrahim is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Loan watch28 Sep 2026

Hazem Gamal wants to come home

“I did not go to Police Union to sit and watch. I want to come back to Al Ahly and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 7 matches say the rest.

Match29 Aug 2026

No mercy from Al Ahly

Police Union will want this one forgotten quickly: 6‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Al Ahly were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The knee: Zidan Nageh out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Al Ahly lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market31 Aug 2026

Achraf Bencharki asks to leave Al Ahly

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A day Achraf Bencharki will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

A brace, and Marwan Ateya takes the afternoon — 8.38

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Marwan Ateya provided it, and the 8.38 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market31 Aug 2026

Eyad Tamer has said yes to Military Production

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Al Ahly have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market31 Aug 2026

Yassin Marei says no to El Dakhleya

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Yassin Marei had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Hussein El Shahat yet — 8.07

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.07 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Al Ahly bid $690.0K for Nahuel Ulariaga

The offer went to Godoy Cruz this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
