In a strategic move aimed at strengthening the team's attacking force, Egyptian club Pyramids officially announced the completion of the signing of Palestinian international Hamed Hamdan, coming from the ranks of Petrojet club, as part of the club's management plan to support the team's ranks with the best available elements in preparation for the upcoming local and continental competitions.
Details of the deal and the return of the migratory birds
This signing marks the return of the 25-year-old player to his former club, where Hamdan is known for his extensive knowledge of Egyptian football. The decision to bring him in was made to bolster the midfield, particularly after his recent impressive performances, which caught the eye of Pyramids FC's coaching staff as they seek to fill gaps and provide strong options in all positions.
A career full of challenges in Egyptian stadiums
Hamed Hamdan began his football career at Gaza Sports Club before attracting the attention of Pyramids FC scouts at the start of his professional journey in Egypt. He then embarked on a long period of loan spells and transfers to gain experience, moving to El Entag El Harby, then to El Gezira, and from there to El Majd Alexandria, before finally settling at Petrojet, where he delivered outstanding performances that contributed to his return to the spotlight.
International context: A remarkable performance in the 2025 Arab Cup
The signing was not a coincidence, but rather a culmination of the outstanding international level that the player displayed with the Palestinian national team (Al-Fida'i) during the 2025 Arab Cup. Hamdan has 9 international appearances with the Palestinian national team, during which he managed to score one goal, but his influence in the midfield and his ability to link the lines was the most prominent factor that prompted the Pyramids management to finalize the deal.
The importance of the deal and its expected impact
This deal is particularly significant given the Egyptian Football Association's regulations, which treat Palestinian players as local players. This gives Pyramids FC an added advantage by allowing them to benefit from the services of an international professional without occupying a foreign player slot. This move reflects the club's serious ambition to compete for all available titles, continue its ambitious project to challenge Egyptian football giants Al Ahly and Zamalek for domestic trophies, and progress in African competitions.
