Ahmed Zizo

Ahmed Zizo is a technically gifted attacking midfielder who spent five seasons at Zamalek before crossing Cairo's great divide to join Al Ahly in 2024 — a transfer that underlined his quality, as such moves between the two clubs are genuinely rare. Earlier spells in Europe at Lierse and Moreirense gave him exposure beyond Egyptian football. Quick, direct, and capable of carrying the ball in tight areas, he offers Egypt creativity from midfield. At 30, he is in the final stretch of his peak years, and his move to Al Ahly has arguably raised his profile at the right moment.
