Mamadu Bah has completed a permanent move from Maltese side Sliema Wanderers to Egyptian Premier League club Zed FC, sealing a switch that takes the Liberia/United States dual national into one of North Africa’s most competitive top flights. The centre-forward joins Zed FC after the clubs agreed a deal with an undisclosed fee, with the transfer officially recorded as taking effect from 2026-02-08 and running through to the end of his new contract on 2026-02-08.
The move ends Bah’s brief spell with Sliema Wanderers, where he was registered for the 25/26 season in Malta’s Premier League Closing Round. His market value at the time of the transfer is listed at €200k, underlining his growing profile after a rapid rise across several leagues in Europe and North America. While the exact financial terms of the transfer have not been made public, the transaction is confirmed and final, with Zed FC securing a player still in the early stages of his professional peak.
For Zed FC, the signing brings in a 24-year-old centre-forward standing 1.83m, whose game has been shaped by a diverse footballing journey. Born in Hyattsville, Maryland, Bah represents both Liberia and the United States at national level and has spent recent years moving through different competitions and football cultures. Before joining Sliema Wanderers, he played for fellow Maltese club Zurrieq FC, having arrived there from Patuxent Football Athletics in the United States. That American spell itself followed a stint with B71 Sandoy in the Faroe Islands, which came after his college soccer career with MSU Mustangs (Midwestern State University) and earlier with Presbyterian Blue Hose, having first emerged at youth level with Baltimore Celtic.
This confirmed transfer also closes off any short-term prospect of Bah becoming a free agent, as he transitions directly from a signed contract at Sliema Wanderers into a new deal with Zed FC. There is no indication in the data of any contract gap or release, only a straightforward move registered on 2026-02-08. For the Egyptian Premier League side, the acquisition adds depth and versatility in attack, with Bah’s main position clearly defined as centre-forward.
The switch marks another step abroad for the forward, who now moves from Malta’s top tier into Egypt’s Premier League, a competition that routinely showcases African and international talent and serves as a springboard to larger markets. Having already tested himself in the Faroe Islands, Malta, and the United States, Bah will now look to adapt to the tactical and physical demands of Egyptian football and justify his €200k valuation in a higher-profile environment.
From a wider career perspective, this move underlines a steady, upward trajectory. Each step in Bah’s journey—Baltimore Celtic to U.S. college soccer, then to the Faroe Islands, on to American lower-division football, into Malta, and now to Egypt—has carried him into progressively more competitive surroundings. If he can translate his development into consistent performances for Zed FC, the transfer has the potential to define the next phase of his career and enhance his reputation both in Liberia, the United States, and across the African game.
