Mamdouh Eid defends Pyramids journey with pride after continental triumph

Mamdouh Eid, CEO of Pyramids FC, spoke with pride about the Egyptian side’s CAF Champions League victory, a milestone that marked their first continental title.

For Eid, it was not only a reward for persistence but also a strong response to critics who question the club’s history and place in African football.

Pyramids will face New Zealand’s Auckland City next Sunday at Cairo’s Air Defense Stadium in the Intercontinental Cup, a clash Eid sees as a vital moment in the club’s growth.

“We always work with a clear goal in mind, and we have a firm belief that we will one day achieve this goal. It’s not just a matter of expectation,” Eid told FIFA’s official website.

He stressed that the triumph strengthens Egyptian football as a whole, highlighting that more competitive clubs would only boost the game nationally. Eid praised coach Krunoslav Jurčić’s dedication and expressed faith in his players to build further success.

To those who doubt, he answered firmly. The Pyramids’ journey is only beginning, but their progress already speaks volumes.
