Mohamed Magdy, nicknamed « Afsha, » made a strong impression in Al Ahly’s latest Egyptian Premier League match by scoring a crucial brace that helped his team secure victory against Pyramids FC.
This win, achieved during the second matchday of the 2025 season, confirms the rising influence of the attacking midfielder in Africa’s top football league.
Afsha, already known for his winning goal in the 2020 CAF Champions League final, continues to stand out in the domestic league where he combines creativity and efficiency. His impact on Al Ahly’s play is growing steadily, with 9 goals and 11 assists in the last season, positioning him as one of the most promising African players in a highly covered African championship.
This match drew international attention since Afsha is attracting interest from European clubs, attracted by his game vision and ability to perform decisively at key moments. His recent performance strengthens his prospects of moving to international leagues, particularly in Europe, where the technical profile of players trained in Africa is increasingly sought after.
With Al Ahly competing in several continental and global competitions, including the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Mohamed Magdy Afsha may become a major ambassador for African football in the coming months. His career trajectory shows how talents thriving in African leagues can now shine on the world stage, embodying a new era of football on the continent.
