22-year-old Ghanaian midfielder Hafiz Ibrahim has completed a transfer from the Attram De Visser Sporting Club to Egypt’s premier league outfit, El Gouna Football Club. The deal sees Ibrahim join El Gouna on a six-month loan, with an option for the Egyptian club to make the transfer permanent.
Affectionately called “The General,” Ibrahim’s skilful displays and composure on the ball proved to many, leading to a call-up to the Black Galaxies, Ghana’s home-based senior national team, for their CHAN playoff games against Nigeria in December 2024.
Hafiz, who has made a name for himself with his commanding presence on the pitch, brings a blend of creativity and tenacity to El Gouna’s midfield. His nickname, “The General,” is a clear indication of his leadership qualities and his ability to orchestrate play from the heart of the field. Known for his vision and passing range, Ibrahim is expected to add significant value to El Gouna’s squad as they navigate the challenges of the Egyptian Premier League.
Having learned his skills at Attram De Visser, a club renowned for nurturing young talents in Ghana, Ibrahim steps onto a new stage where he will face different tactical setups and the physical demands of North African football.
His move to El Gouna FC is not just a personal milestone but also a motivation for young Ghanaian players eyeing a career abroad.
El Gouna Football Club, based in the resort town of the same name on the Red Sea, have been pushing to establish themselves more firmly among Egypt’s football elite. The acquisition of Hafiz Ibrahim is seen as part of their strategy to build a competitive team capable of challenging for top honors.
Ibrahim’s transition to the Egyptian top flight will be keenly watched by fans and pundits alike. His experience in Ghana’s domestic league and his adaptability will be crucial as he looks to make his mark in a league known for its passionate fanbase and competitive nature.
