Club career

edit

Born in the Sohag Governorate, Atef began his career with local fourth division club Al-Saha before joining the academy of professional side Wadi Degla.[1] In 2020, having been linked with a move to Wadi Degla's sister club in Belgium, Lierse, he instead joined one of the club's other sister clubs, Greek side Ergotelis.[1][2] However, after just five appearances for the club, he returned to Egypt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

The following season he made his debut for Wadi Degla in the Egyptian Premier League, and his performances drew the attention of top Egyptian clubs Al Ahly and Zamalek, with both clubs reportedly making formal offers.[3] Despite these links, Atef instead joined newly-promoted side Future on a one-year loan deal in September 2021.[4]

His career with Future got off to a good start, and he was commended in Egyptian media for a performance against Al Ahly, helping his team to a draw.[5] Later in the season, it was revealed that Future had a clause in the loan deal to buy Atef, despite the interest of other clubs.[6][7][8]

In March 2022, it was reported that Future had excised their purchase option for a reported fee between 12 and 18 million Egyptian pounds.[9][10] However, in May of the same year, Atef requested permission to join Al Ahly in the summer transfer window.[11] On 25 May 2022, Future confirmed that they had purchased Atef from Wadi Degla.[12] In August 2022, he was again linked with a move away from the club, this time to Swiss side Basel.[13]

With his contract set to expire in January 2025, Future - now known as Modern Sport - rejected three offers from foreign clubs to sign Atef in the Summer 2024 transfer window.[14]

International career

edit

Atef reportedly caught the eye of then-national team manager Carlos Queiroz in March 2022 following his performances with Future.[15] He earned his first call up in June of the same year, and made his debut in a 2–0 win against Ethiopia in 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[16][17]
