Ahmed El‑Shenawy, Pyramids FC’s goalkeeper, shared on his Instagram account a photo of himself with his teammate Sherif Ekramy celebrating Ekramy’s birthday, captioning it “Happy birthday”—a gesture that reflects the strength of their bond both on the pitch and personally.
This congratulation arrives at a time when all eyes are on Sherif Ekramy’s playing future, especially now that he has turned forty, leading many to wonder whether he will don the gloves for another season or formally announce his retirement.
In this context, a senior source within Pyramids FC revealed that Sherif Ekramy is seriously considering declaring the end of his football journey in the near future, after a career spanning more than two decades—one marked by countless successes and trophies, the most recent of which was lifting the CAF Champions League title with Pyramids FC, an achievement the source called “the perfect finale to the career of a great player.”
The source added that the club’s management fully respects Ekramy’s decision, whatever it may be, and values his contribution and experience on the field. They have made clear their readiness to renew his contract for an additional season should he wish to continue—without any pressure—leaving him complete freedom to make his final choice when the time is right.
The source also confirmed that Ekramy commands widespread respect from his teammates and the coaching staff alike—not just as a seasoned veteran, but as a leader with a professional mindset and deep footballing insight—qualities that make him a role model in the dressing room.
It is worth noting that Sherif Ekramy began his career in the Al Ahly youth system before moving to Pyramids FC, where his experience has strengthened the team’s defensive backbone and secured his place as a regular starter over the past several seasons.
Egyptian football fans now eagerly await the veteran goalkeeper’s decision—he has long been one of the nation’s most distinguished shot‑stoppers at both club and national team level—and it is expected that he will announce his final stance in the coming weeks, after consulting with those closest to him, amid widespread appreciation for his remarkable career.
