We are proud to be crowned champions of the Egypt Cup, the most prestigious tournament in Egypt. We are honored to join the ranks of clubs that have won this championship. Achieving the Egypt Cup title in such a short time is a testament to the team’s dedication and hard work. Winning a championship brings great responsibility, and we are determined to work even harder in the upcoming season. Our single objective is to remain competitive for titles in the next phase. The support from the club’s owners and the UAE, as well as their contributions to sports investment in Egypt, is truly exceptional. We are proud to be the first club to benefit from the UAE’s support. The club operates within a fully integrated system, with elements selected based on a comprehensive vision and well-established plans. This system is overseen by Captain Hany Said, the sporting director, along with the extraordinary efforts of Captain Amr Bassiouny, the director of transfers, who is responsible for selecting and securing top-tier players. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the club’s management and His Excellency Salem Al Shamsi.

The management motivates both the players and every member of the club’s ecosystem, inspiring everyone to give their best effort without sparing any energy. This is key to the success of our outstanding system, which has positioned itself as a major contender in Egyptian, Arab, and African football. The decision to appoint Krunoslav Jurčić was based on his impressive track record, reputation, career, and achievements. He has previously worked in the Arab region and is well-acquainted with football here. Krunoslav’s presence has significantly enhanced the team, instilling a renewed spirit in the players. The club competed for the league title until the very end and went on to win the Egypt Cup. He is an ideal coach, and I am confident that Pyramids FC will continue its strong progress under his leadership. I would like to extend my gratitude to all the coaching staff who have worked with the club over the years. Each one of them made valuable contributions, leading to Pyramids FC winning its first title and lifting the Egypt Cup. We wish Captain Ehab Galal, the former coach of Pyramids FC, a speedy recovery from his health challenges. May he return to his family and loved ones in good health as soon as possible. We are pleased to be returning to the UAE for the third consecutive year to participate in the Egyptian Super Cup this October. As always, our goal is to compete for every title. Pyramids FC is building its fan base, which is not an easy task and will take many years. However, we already have supporters and fans across many regions, and with time and continued success, we will build a large and loyal following.
