Gamal Hamza (Arabic: جمال حمزة [ɡæˈmɑːl ˈħæmzæ], born 5 December 1981) is an Egyptian former footballer. He played for Zamalek SC for most of his football career. He last played for the Egyptian Premier League side Haras El-Hodood.
Career[edit]
Zamalek[edit]
Hamza is a Zamalek youth academy graduate, and is considered one of the best Egyptian forwards. He is one of the highest scoring players in Cairo Derby against Al Ahly with eight goals.[citation needed] He is known for once having sported a reverse-Mohawk haircut, which he has since abandoned.
On 14 May 2009, Hamza signed a pre-contract with the Switzerland club FC Luzern. However, no agreement between Luzern and Hamza's club Al Zamalek came about.
Mainz[edit]
On 24 June 2009, Hamza signed with the German side 1. FSV Mainz 05 on a 2+1 basis,[1] and was on 11 October 2009 released from his contract.
El Gouna FC[edit]
Having destroyed any hope of a possible comeback to former club Zamalek by choosing their bitter rivals Ahly over them, Hamza returned to former club El Gouna and made a good impression by scoring three goals in the league's first four matches. After a dispute with the technical staff, Hamza was completely excluded from all of the club's matches for the remainder of the first half of the season and a decision was reached to sell him in the winter transfer window.
International career[edit]
Hamza played in the World Youth Cup U20 Argentina in 2001 and holds 18 games, scoring four goals for the A-team.[2] He played for the Egyptian football team[3]
