Prominent Egyptian sports pundit and media personality Ahmed Shobeir praised Pyramids FC’s strong early-season performance, issuing a clear warning to traditional powerhouse clubs Al Ahly and Zamalek regarding the growing title challenge from New Cairo.
Speaking on his daily sports program, Shobeir emphasized that Pyramids FC’s dominant tactical organization and relentless form send a direct signal to all Egyptian Premier League contenders. He singled out South African head coach Rhulani Mokwena as the central catalyst behind the squad’s elevated discipline and winning culture.
Under Mokwena’s leadership, Pyramids FC has mounted an impressive multi-competition winning streak, securing crucial victories across domestic league action, the Egypt League Cup, and the CAF Champions League. Shobeir noted that Mokwena’s tactical adaptability—developed through stints at Mamelodi Sundowns and across North African leagues—has transformed Pyramids into a cohesive unit capable of sustaining a long campaign.
The pundit concluded that if Pyramids maintain their current rhythm under Mokwena, the race for the Egyptian Premier League title will prove to be one of the most competitive in recent history.
