In a world where dreams blend with reality, many find themselves at crossroads that can change the course of their lives completely. Among these young people, the name of the young artist Hamza Diab stands out — a journey from football fields to the spotlight of acting, telling a success story worth sharing.
Hamza, born in 2006, was a football enthusiast from childhood and deeply interested in sports in general. At an early age, he joined youth teams at several local clubs, aspiring to become a professional football player, just like many young people in Egypt dream of. However, fate had other plans: a knee injury severely affected his ability to play and forced him to give up pursuing his sports dream.

The harsh injury was not the end of the road for him but rather the beginning of a new chapter in his life. After a period of sadness and frustration, Hamza started searching for a new passion to compensate for the loss of his football dream. He tried playing the guitar and archery but did not feel comfortable in either. In a moment of self-discovery, he decided to give acting a chance.

Hamza underwent intensive training and enrolled in acting workshops, where he began learning the basics of acting and techniques of expressing himself before the camera. Thanks to his talent and determination, he earned the opportunity to appear in several dramatic works, most notably his role in the series "Kamel El-‘Adad" (“Full Count”), where he portrayed "Sherif," the eldest son in a family grappling with many social and human issues.

The role of "Sherif" was not easy; it required portraying a character combining ambition, internal conflicts, and the daily challenges faced by Egyptian youth. Hamza was able to perform this role brilliantly, catching the attention of audiences and critics alike. His name soon became widely mentioned on social media, especially among young people who see him as a role model.

Family support was one of the main factors that helped Hamza overcome his hardships. His mother, who has always been his primary supporter, played a significant role in encouraging him towards acting and believing in his talent from the start. She had the greatest impact on building his self-confidence and motivating him to continue learning and improving.

Alongside his success in "Kamel El-‘Adad," Hamza also participated in several other works, including the series "Sawt wa Soora" (“Sound and Image”), where he took on a different role that showcased the diversity of his acting abilities. Hamza is always eager to develop himself by attending new training workshops and working on enhancing his skills — a strong indicator of a promising future in the arts.

Hamza sees acting not just as a new profession but as a true passion that compensates for everything he lost in football. In his interviews, he affirms that art has taught him a lot about life and humanity, giving him a chance to express his feelings and thoughts in a different way.

Hamza Diab’s story is not only about professional success but also a human story of challenge and perseverance — how unexpected turns can open new doors that are no less valuable than the dreams that were once shattered.
