Al Ahly have closed one of the key files within their first-team squad after officially announcing a contract extension for captain and goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2027-28 season.

The decision confirms that El Shenawy remains part of Al Ahly's plans for the coming years. The experienced goalkeeper has become one of the team's most important senior players, while also carrying major responsibility as captain both on and off the pitch.

Deal Until 2028

Al Ahly completed El Shenawy's contract extension following a meeting with Dr. Essam Serag El Din, the club's head of contracts, and football director Wael Gomaa.

The new agreement guarantees that the goalkeeper will remain with the Red Devils until the 2027-28 season and gives the club further stability in one of the most important positions in the squad.

El Shenawy has spent several successful years with Al Ahly and has developed into one of the team's leading figures. His experience and leadership have made him an important part of the dressing room as well as a regular presence during major domestic and continental challenges.

Keeping the captain for another period also reflects Al Ahly's desire to maintain experienced players while continuing to develop and strengthen the squad for the future.

He also delivered a special message to the supporters, highlighting their important role in standing behind the players and encouraging the team to keep pushing for victories and trophies.

For El Shenawy, the fans' support remains a major source of motivation, particularly during difficult periods and high-pressure matches. Their backing, he believes, helps the players give more and continue competing for titles.

The new contract now opens another chapter in El Shenawy's Al Ahly career, with the goalkeeper set to continue playing a leadership role inside the squad.

The agreement also gives Al Ahly greater clarity over the future of the goalkeeping position, while El Shenawy continues his journey in the red shirt until 2028 with more trophies remaining the target.
