Al Ahly SC player contract updates and management news

Overview

Al Ahly SC has continued its strategy of securing core talent through contract extensions. Following the recent renewal of goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir until 2029, the club has officially announced a contract extension for captain and goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy. The 37-year-old veteran, who joined the club in 2016 and has won four CAF Champions League trophies, will remain with the club until the end of the 2027-2028 season.

This renewal follows a period of controversy involving Egypt national team manager Hossam Hassan. Al Ahly previously described Hassan’s comments regarding El Shenawy’s form and his 2026 World Cup inclusion as an “unacceptable transgression” against the captain. While Hassan later clarified that his remarks were misunderstood and expressed respect for the goalkeeper, media analysts suggest the extension underscores the club’s reliance on El Shenawy’s leadership despite his age.

While some commentators have raised concerns that the media dispute could impact internal dynamics—specifically between El Shenawy and fellow goalkeeper Mostafa Shobier—the club has proceeded with the renewal to ensure stability for upcoming local and continental competitions.
