The second round of the Promotion Stage witnessed standout performances from several new signings who joined their clubs during the winter transfer window.

Meanwhile, the duo of Mohamed Samara and Gerges Magdy, who recently transferred to Al-Sakka Al-Hadid from Petrojet and Zed respectively, showcased their prowess by netting the goals in their team’s triumph over Brooksie.
Amr Mostafa, who arrived at Rayya from Ghazl El Mahalla during the winter transfer window, made an immediate impact by scoring the equalizing goal against Haras El Hodoud in the dying moments of the match, courtesy of an assist from Nasser El Far, who joined from Makadi.
These performances underscore the significance of January transfers in bolstering teams’ capabilities and contributing to their success in the ongoing season.
