Karim Hafez is the most widely travelled defender in Egypt's squad, having played in Belgium at Lierse, France at Lens, and Turkey at both Kasımpaşa and Yeni Malatyaspor before returning to Egyptian football with Pyramids. That European experience, rare among Egyptian domestic defenders, gives him a different frame of reference, though none of those clubs were at the highest level. Now settled at Pyramids since 2021, he provides experienced cover at right-back. At 30, his international career has been intermittent, but his varied background makes him a useful squad option.
