I will do my best for the team – Morocco striker Soufiane Benjedida after Al Ahly move

Moroccan striker Soufiane Benjedida has expressed his delight after completing his move to Egyptian giants Al Ahly, sending a message of commitment and ambition to the club’s supporters following his arrival at the “Club of the Century.”

The forward joined Al Ahly from Maghreb Fez on a three-year contract, becoming one of the club’s attacking reinforcements ahead of the new season as the Egyptian champions look to strengthen their squad under new head coach Hussein Ammouta.

Benjedida arrives in Cairo after a remarkable campaign in Moroccan football, where he rediscovered his confidence and produced impressive numbers, scoring 20 goals in all competitions last season to help Maghreb Fez achieve a historic league triumph.

The Moroccan forward believes his move to Al Ahly represents a major step in his career and is determined to repay the faith shown in him by the club’s management and technical staff.

Speaking through Al Ahly’s official media channels, Benjedida expressed his excitement about joining one of Africa’s most successful clubs.

“I am very happy to join Al Ahly, the Club of the Century in Africa, and God willing, I will live up to the trust and make Al Ahly fans happy everywhere,” he said.

The striker highlighted the honour of wearing the famous red jersey, describing Al Ahly as a club with a special status in African football.

“Al Ahly is a great club, and it is an honour for any player to wear its jersey. God willing, I will do my best for the team,” Benjedida added.

The Moroccan also spoke about the reception he has received from the club’s passionate supporters, admitting that he immediately felt the affection and expectations of the Al Ahly fanbase.

“From the first moment I felt the love of Al Ahly’s fans, and God willing we will win all the championships and make the fans happy,” he said.

Benjedida’s arrival comes as Al Ahly continue preparations for another demanding season, with the club aiming to compete strongly across domestic competitions and continental tournaments.

The striker is expected to provide additional attacking options for the team, bringing with him his finishing ability, movement inside the box and confidence gained from his successful spell in Morocco.

Having experienced a career revival at Maghreb Fez after a challenging period abroad, Benjedida believes he is ready for the pressure and expectations that come with playing for Al Ahly.

The 2026/27 season will present a new challenge for the Moroccan forward, who will be aiming to quickly adapt to Egyptian football and establish himself as an important figure in the Al Ahly squad.

Concluding his message to the supporters, Benjedida delivered a simple but powerful statement that underlined his commitment to the club:

“Soufiane Benjedida… is an Ahly fan.”

The new signing will now look to prove himself on the pitch and help Al Ahly continue their tradition of success in Egypt and across Africa.
