El Mahdy Soliman is a 39-year-old goalkeeper whose career has wound through much of Egyptian domestic football — Petrojet, Ghazl El Mehalla, Smouha, Pyramids, and now Zamalek, where he has been since 2022 with a loan to Al Ittihad in 2024. At Zamalek, Egypt's other great Cairo club, Soliman has provided experienced cover and competition. Reaching a World Cup squad at 39 speaks to a scarcity of depth at the position or to his enduring reliability in training and preparation. He is unlikely to feature in matches but brings institutional knowledge and composure to the goalkeeping group.
