Club career

edit

Having risen through the youth ranks of Zamalek, Nader was invited to train with the first team in March 2021.[2] After continuing to shine for the under-23 side, he was loaned to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Vizela in September of the same year.[3] Initially assigned to the youth sides, Nader's good performances saw him promoted to the first team in January 2022, in preparation for the Taça de Portugal game against Moreirense.[4] Although he did not feature, he was named on the bench.[5]

International career

edit

Nader has represented Egypt at under-20 level.[6]

After Nader's perceived misjudgement of a cross at the 2021 Arab Cup U-20, leading to Saudi Arabia's eventual 3–2 win, Nader was criticised on social media by a number of fans.[7] Former Egypt international goalkeeper Sherif Ekramy came to his defence, calling the criticism a "moral crime".[8]

Personal life

edit

Ahmed is the son of former Egyptian international goalkeeper Nader El-Sayed.[6]
