Fiston Mayele has swiftly made a name for himself in Egypt’s Premier League since joining Pyramids FC in the summer of 2023.
The 30-year-old Congolese international has become an integral part of the team, earning widespread recognition for his contributions both on the field and in the Egyptian championship as a whole.
Mayele’s decision to accept Pyramids FC’s offer has proven to be a pivotal moment in his career.
The striker, who previously played for Young Africans in Tanzania, found the Egyptian football scene to be an ideal environment for his skills.
“Egypt is undoubtedly a framework that suits me,” Mayele said, as his precision, speed, and game-reading abilities have made him one of the most respected players in the Egyptian Premier League.
Since his arrival, Mayele has displayed remarkable consistency, particularly when his team has faced challenges.
Known for stepping up in crucial moments, he has regularly delivered vital performances for the “Heirs of the Pharaohs.”
His contributions have made him a key figure in the squad, and he has quickly cemented his status as a top player in the league.
In his debut season with Pyramids FC, Mayele showed no signs of slowing down despite the change in environment.
Having come off a stellar 2022-2023 campaign with Young Africans, where he scored 32 goals and provided 5 assists in 29 matches, Mayele continued his form in Egypt.
He scored 21 goals and contributed 6 assists in 43 appearances in his first season with Pyramids FC, proving that the transition to a new league had not affected his performance.
This current season has seen Mayele maintain his strong form, with 9 goals and 1 assist in 19 matches.
His consistency in front of goal has kept him near the top of the league’s scoring charts, with the Congolese striker sitting in second place behind Nasser Mansy of Zamalek SC.
Mayele’s first season in the Egyptian Premier League was a particularly impressive one, finishing second in the goal-scoring rankings with 17 goals.
He was just one goal behind Al Ahly’s Wessam Abu Ali, who scored 18 goals. As of now, Mayele remains in the top three, and his reputation as a reliable goal scorer continues to grow.
With his contract running until June 2026, Fiston Mayele’s future at Pyramids FC looks promising, as he continues to be a key player for the club and one of the top talents in Egypt’s elite football scene.
