Hamza Abdelkarim to Extend Barcelona Contract to 2030
Hamza Abdelkarim, an 18-year-old Egyptian footballer, is set to extend his contract with Barcelona until 2030, as announced by the club on Friday. Abdelkarim initially joined Barcelona on loan from Cairo's Al Ahly in February before making a permanent transfer in the summer.
He gained recognition for becoming the youngest player to represent Egypt at the World Cup, where he played in four of the team's five matches. His performance during pre-season was notable, scoring four goals in five matches.
Abdelkarim made his competitive debut for Barcelona as a late substitute in a 5-2 victory over Rayo Vallecano in La Liga last month. The signing of his contract extension is scheduled for Tuesday.
