A step that reveals ambition
Following the end of his career with Egypt at the 2026 World Cup, Hamza Abdel Karim has made a decision that reflects the extent of his ambitions and his desire to impose himself at Barcelona, after he preferred to join the preparatory phase from day one rather than take a well-deserved break from the World Cup, sending a clear message to the technical staff.
Barcelona’s Hamza Abdel Karim has decided not to rest after his stint with Egypt at the 2026 World Cup, opting to head straight to Spain to join the Catalan side’s camp in preparation for the new season.
Tomorrow, Sunday, the player will travel to Barcelona to join the training camp from the first day, after he refused to take time off from the World Cup.
This decision is due to the desire of Hamza Abdel Karim to prepare for the new season in the best possible way and to prove his abilities to the German coach Hans Flick by being with the team from the beginning of the preparatory period.
The football player’s aunt and Nile Sport TV channel reporter Mona Abdel Karim confirmed this fact on her Facebook page, writing: “Thank God and praise God… Hamza Abdel Karim will go to Barcelona tomorrow, God willing, to join the first team’s training camp for the new season, which will start on July 13, when the club will have a few days to choose between the World Cup or the World Cup. the camp on time.”
Hansi Flick opted to rely on Hamza Abdel Karim and a number of youth players to support the first team in the build-up to the new 2026-2027 season, giving promising players a chance to prove themselves before the start of official competition.
Barcelona will participate in a closed camp in England, including a series of friendly matches, as part of preparations for the new season, during which they aim to compete strongly in all domestic and continental leagues.
In a related context, the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” has revealed that Al-Ahli Club has become the most popular candidate to face Barcelona next August 19 at the Camp Nou Stadium in the Joan Gamper Cup friendly tournament.
The Spanish newspaper “Marca” reported earlier that the holding of the meeting is part of the agreement between “Barcelona” and “Al-Ahly” in the transfer transaction of Hamza Abdel Karim to the Catalan club.
