DR Congo star Fiston Mayele bids farewell to Pyramids FC

DR Congo striker Fiston Mayele has officially brought his successful spell with Egyptian giants Pyramids FC to an end, closing the curtain on a memorable chapter that saw him establish himself as one of Africa’s most prolific forwards.

Mayele leaves the Egyptian outfit following the expiration of his contract, paving way for him to join a new club in the current transfer window.

Mayele leaves Pyramids FC as one of the club’s most influential players in recent years, having played a pivotal role in their domestic and continental successes. His departure marks the end of an era for the Cairo-based side, where he became a fan favourite through his goals, work ethic and ability to deliver in crucial matches.

“We have written a wonderful chapter in history together, with trophies, emotions and unforgettable moments. Today, it is time for me to take on a new challenge. I leave this club with great gratitude and respect. I wish you all the very best for the future. Thank you for everything.” He wrote.

During his time at Pyramids FC, Mayele enjoyed the most successful period of his career, helping the club win several prestigious titles on both the continental and international stage. Among the major honours he lifted were the CAF Champions League, the CAF Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, achievements that cemented his place in the club’s history.

The striker was not only instrumental in the team’s trophy-winning campaigns but also distinguished himself individually. He finished as the top scorer in the CAF Champions League with six goals, underlining his importance in Pyramids FC’s run to continental glory. Mayele also emerged as the leading scorer in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, netting three goals and further enhancing his reputation as a striker for the big occasions.

His performances over the past few seasons attracted interest from several clubs across Africa and the Middle East, with many teams eager to secure the services of a proven goalscorer capable of making an immediate impact.

While the 31-year-old has yet to officially unveil his next destination, reports suggest he is on the verge of joining Libyan side Al Ahly Tripoli. The move would see the Congolese forward embark on a fresh challenge in North African football after leaving a lasting legacy in Egypt.

Should the transfer be completed, Al Ahly Tripoli would be acquiring one of the continent’s most experienced and decorated forwards, a player who arrives with a winning mentality and a proven track record of success at the highest level of African club football.

For now, Mayele departs Pyramids FC with his head held high, leaving behind unforgettable memories, historic achievements and a legacy that supporters are unlikely to forget anytime soon.
