Mohamed Hani receives Al Ahly backing and praise as Egypt prepares for Argentina clash at World Cup

Al Ahly announced full support for right‑back Mohamed Hani, highlighting his performances for Egypt at the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. The club posted a message on its official Facebook page, calling Hani “the man of great appointments” and affirming confidence in his abilities after recent media criticism.

Former Zamalek star Walid Abdel‑Latif echoed the sentiment, saying Hani has delivered “exceptional levels” at the tournament and rating his play a perfect ten. Abdel‑Latif expressed confidence that the Egyptian team, which advanced to the round of 16 by defeating Australia on penalties, can overcome Argentina in their upcoming match in Atlanta on 7 July 2026.

The upcoming knockout game will be refereed by French official François Letcher and will be broadcast in the MENA region by beIN Sports. The praise and club support aim to boost Hani’s morale ahead of this high‑profile encounter.
