In 2019, Hamza Abdelkarim was just an 11-year-old ball boy at the Africa Cup of Nations. While helping from the sidelines, he dreamed of becoming a footballer one day. Hamza worked hard, developed through Al Ahly’s academy, and quickly became one of Egypt’s brightest young talents.

His performances earned him a move to Barcelona, one of the biggest clubs in the world. In 2026, he achieved another dream when he played for Egypt at the FIFA World Cup. From collecting balls on the touchline to playing on football’s biggest stage, Hamza’s journey is truly inspiring.
