Ahmed Mahmoud leaves Zamalek as Egypt right-back becomes unattached

Egyptian right-back Ahmed Mahmoud has joined the ranks of unattached players after leaving Zamalek, with the change taking effect on 10 August 2026.

The 23-year-old defender departs the Egyptian Premier League club after a spell that brought him an Egyptian Cup winners’ medal in the 2024-25 season. Mahmoud was part of the Zamalek side that claimed the trophy, the first recorded major honour of his senior career.

Mahmoud’s departure brings an end to his association with Zamalek, who are listed as his previous club. He is now registered without a club, while the next stage of his career remains open following the move.

Born in Egypt on 5 January 2003, Mahmoud’s preferred position is right-back. He is right-footed and stands 1.88m tall, attributes that have defined his role as a defensive player on the flank.

His move comes at the age of 23, a point in his career when he leaves Zamalek with domestic cup-winning experience behind him. The Egyptian defender’s profile is centred on his work at right-back, with his height and preferred right foot forming the main details of his playing profile.

Mahmoud’s club status was updated on 10 August 2026 after his departure from Zamalek, and he is now without a club.
