Moroccan international Yahya Attiyat Allah has set his sights on achieving further success with Al Ahly after helping the club secure the Egyptian Super Cup title.
The versatile left-back, who joined Al Ahly on loan from Russian First League club PFC Sochi in August, played a pivotal role in the tightly contested final against Zamalek, which ended in a goalless draw.
The match was decided in a nail-biting penalty shootout, with Attiyat Allah stepping up to convert the sixth penalty in Al Ahly’s 7-6 victory.
This marks the 29-year-old’s first major trophy with the Egyptian giants, adding to his career achievements and cementing his role within the squad.
Reflecting on the triumph, Attiyat Allah expressed his ambition to build on this success and contribute to Al Ahly’s winning legacy.
I am hoping that this journey will continue with more championships with the team,” he stated in an interview on the club’s official website.
He went on to praise his teammates for their support in helping him settle in quickly.
I thank my fellow players for their support since joining Al Ahly, which helped me quickly integrate,” he added. “Al Ahly’s championships do not stop, and I hope to be an influential element in all upcoming championships with the team.”
The former Wydad AC star’s arrival in Cairo came with high expectations, given his impressive record and experience in North African and international football.
Known for his pace and technical ability on the left flank, Attiyat Allah has transitioned smoothly into Al Ahly’s system, a process he attributes to the team’s welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of camaraderie.
His performance in the Super Cup has already endeared him to the Al Ahly faithful, who are hopeful his contributions will be instrumental in the club’s pursuit of multiple titles this season.
Al Ahly, currently the most successful football club in Africa, is set for a busy 2024/25 season across multiple competitions.
The team will compete in the Egyptian Premier League, the Egyptian Cup, and the CAF Champions League, alongside prestigious international tournaments like the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
As the club aims to add more silverware to its storied history, Attiyat Allah is expected to play a significant role in bolstering their defensive and offensive lines.
With a decorated resume that includes success with Wydad AC, Attiyat Allah brings valuable experience to Al Ahly, especially as the team faces rigorous schedules and high-profile matchups both domestically and internationally.
His adaptability and skill will be key assets as the Red Eagles target their 12th CAF Champions League title and aim for a strong showing on the global stage.
For Attiyat Allah, joining Al Ahly represents not just a continuation of his professional journey but an opportunity to leave a lasting mark on one of Africa’s most celebrated clubs.
As he continues to settle into his role, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely, hopeful that his influence will help Al Ahly maintain its winning tradition and achieve new heights this season.
