Algeria forward Moncef Bekar vows to help Al Ahly win titles after move
Algerian forward Moncef Bekar has expressed his excitement after completing his move to Egyptian giants Al Ahly, describing the opportunity to wear the famous red jersey as a major milestone in his football career.
Bekar penned a three-year contract to the Egyptian giants from Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb. The Algerian arrives as part of the club’s plans to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season as the Red Devils prepare for another campaign filled with domestic and continental ambitions.
The 24-year-old attacker, who became one of Al Ahly’s latest additions during the summer transfer window, said joining the African champions represents a special challenge and an opportunity to be part of one of the biggest clubs in the continent.
The Algerian forward emphasized that accepting the chance to play for Al Ahly was an easy decision because of the club’s enormous reputation, remarkable achievements and status as one of the most successful teams in African football history.
He also pointed to Al Ahly’s continued presence on the international stage, including participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, as one of the factors that attracted him to the Egyptian club. For Bekar, joining a team competing regularly at the highest level represents an important step in his development and career ambitions.
The new signing acknowledged the responsibility that comes with wearing the Al Ahly shirt, especially given the club’s massive fan base and the high expectations placed on every player who represents the Red Castle.
Bekar promised to give his maximum effort from the first day and work hard to contribute to the team’s success. He expressed his desire to help Al Ahly win more trophies and bring happiness to the supporters who have built a reputation for demanding excellence from their players.
The Algerian attacker explained that Al Ahly’s history of success was one of the main reasons behind his excitement about the move. He hopes to become part of the club’s winning tradition and help create new memories alongside his teammates.
Bekar’s arrival is viewed as part of Al Ahly’s wider strategy to refresh and strengthen the squad during the summer transfer window. The club’s management has been active in the market, targeting players capable of adding quality and depth to the team ahead of the new season.
Before securing Bekar’s signature, Al Ahly had already completed several additions, including Moroccan forward Soufiane Benjedida, as well as midfielders Aktai Abdullah and Ali Mahmoud, both arriving from Egyptian Premier League side Enppi.
The Egyptian champions are aiming to build a squad capable of competing across multiple fronts, with expectations high following years of dominance in African football. Bekar’s arrival is expected to provide additional attacking options and increase competition within the squad.
Having impressed during his time in Europe with Dinamo Zagreb, the Algerian forward arrives at Al Ahly eager to prove himself in African football and establish a strong connection with the club’s supporters.
As preparations for the new season continue, Bekar will now focus on adapting to his new surroundings, building chemistry with his teammates and demonstrating why Al Ahly identified him as one of their key summer targets.
The Algerian international believes his best years are still ahead of him and hopes his journey with the Red Devils will be marked by trophies, memorable performances and a lasting legacy at one of Africa’s most decorated clubs.
