Zizo relishes fierce competition in revamped Ahly squad - Egyptian Football
'We have a strong squad, especially after all the new signings. There will be strong competition between all the players, and this is a good thing for the team and the coach, who has plenty of options,' Zizo told the club's official website on Tuesday. The 29-year-old completed a sensational free transfer last month from rivals Zamalek to Ahly, in one of the most high-profile moves in recent Egyptian football history. The record African champions have added eight players to their squad during the close season, including Zizo, defender Yassin Marei, Tunisian midfielder Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, goalkeeper Mohamed Seha, defender Ahmed Ramadan, former Aston Villa midfielder Mahmoud Trezeguet, and striker Mohamed Sherif. 'All the players are motivated and will deliver their best performance to help the team win titles,' Zizo said. 'Ahly participates in many tournaments and needs a strong and ready roster with the same quality.' Zizo featured for Ahly in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, making three appearances and registering one assist, despite the team's early exit in the group stage. 'We put in strong performances at the Club World Cup, but we missed several scoring chances. We'll do our best to return to the tournament in the 2029 edition,' he added. Ahly are currently holding a pre-season training camp in Tunisia ahead of the domestic league season, set to kickoff in August. 'It's important for the players to be part of the preparatory camp. Everyone is eager for the new season and motivated to achieve victories,' Zizo said. 'I'm looking forward to scoring my first goal for Ahly. I hope to feature in the opening league match, but I know I need to be patient,' he added. 'I thank the fans for the warm welcome and hope to meet their expectations. I can't wait for the league to start and to play in front of the supporters at Cairo Stadium.'

Pyramids FC winger Ibrahim Adel joins UAE side Al-Jazira - Egyptian Football
Egyptian international winger Ibrahim Adel joined UAE Pro League side Al-Jazira from Pyramids FC, the Emirati club announced on Tuesday. Al-Jazira welcomed the 24-year-old winger with a video posted on their official social media accounts, stating, 'From Cairo to Abu Dhabi. We introduce the new pride of Abu Dhabi, Ibrahim Adel.' Although the Emirati club have not revealed the details of the deal, reports claim that Adel signed a five-year deal for a fee of around $5 million. Adel will join compatriot Mohamed Elneny, who also plays the Emirati club since the summer of 2024 following the expiration of his contract with Premier League giants Arsenal. من القاهرة إلى أبو ظبي ✈️ الجزراوية الأعزاء، نقدم لكم نجم #فخر_أبوظبي الجديد 🥁 إبراهيم عادل 🤍🖤#نادي_الجزيرة — نادي الجزيرة (@aljazirafc) July 22, 2025 The classy winger came close to a switch to Europe last year, undergoing a medical with La Liga outfit Getafe before the deal collapsed at the last minute. Nonetheless, Adel enjoyed a stellar season with Pyramids FC, netting 15 goals and providing 12 assists in 35 appearances. Since arriving from Port Said second tier Al-Merrikh in 2020, he has scored 48 goals and registered 23 assists across 169 games for the Egyptian side. During his tenure, Adel played a pivotal role in securing Pyramids' first-ever Egypt Cup and CAF Champions League titles in consecutive seasons. On the international stage, Adel has earned 14 senior caps and scored twice for the Pharaohs, most memorably a spectacular long-range strike against Mauritania that sealed Egypt's place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. He also featured at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, scoring three goals in the latter tournament. Al-Jazira finished seventh in the 2023-24 UAE Pro League with 37 points but claimed the UAE League Cup.
