Al Ahly, a dominant force in Egyptian football, is gearing up for a pivotal season. The club, aiming for continental glory, will kick off its campaign with an African Champions League clash against Gor Mahia, followed by the CAF Super Cup against rivals Zamalek. The team’s revamped roster features new signings, including midfielders Youssef Ayman and Ashraf Dari, as well as defender Yahia Attiya Allah. However, several key players have left the team, including defender Mohamed Abdelmonem, forward Mohamed El Dawaoui ‘Cristo,’ and midfielder Aliou Diang, among others. The expected starting lineup for the upcoming season features a mix of established players and new additions. In goal, Mohamed El Shenawy is likely to be the first choice, with Mustafa Shobier and Hamza Alaa providing backup. The defense will likely see a combination of new signings Youssef Ayman and Ashraf Dari, alongside seasoned veterans Yasser Ibrahim and Rami Rabia. The midfield will rely on the experience of Marwan Attia and Imam Ashour, while Ahmed Nabil ‘Coca’ adds depth. Al Ahly’s attacking line will be led by the likes of Hussein El Shahat, Reza Selim, Percy Tau, and Mahmoud Kahraba, along with the versatile Taher Mohamed Taher. With a blend of youth and experience, Al Ahly is poised for a competitive season, aiming to dominate both domestically and on the continent.
