Hamza Abdelkarim Reveals the Egyptian Food He Misses at Barcelona 🇪🇬🔵🔴
Away from football and his new contract, young Barcelona player Hamza Abdelkarim revealed a personal side of his life in Spain after speaking about the Egyptian dish he misses eating since moving to live and train with the Catalan club.
During media interviews, one presenter asked Hamza Abdelkarim about his favorite Egyptian food. The young player responded with a spontaneous answer that attracted attention before joking that he felt somewhat embarrassed about saying the name of the dish in English.
“I’m Afraid to Say It in English”.. What Did Hamza Say? 😄
When Hamza Abdelkarim was asked about his favorite Egyptian food, the player replied: “Pigeon.. Egyptians know it,” before adding humorously: “I’m afraid to say it in English.”
The player’s answer reflects his connection to details of his Egyptian life despite moving to Spain and beginning a new chapter in his career at one of the biggest football clubs in the world.
Traditional Egyptian dishes remain an important part of everyday life for many Egyptian players living abroad, particularly as they adjust to different food cultures and the meals available in the countries where they live.
Hamza’s Comment Came Alongside the Signing of His New Contract
Hamza Abdelkarim’s comments came during the ceremony to sign his new contract with Barcelona, which was held inside the office of Joan Laporta, the Catalan club’s president, in the presence of the player and club representatives after an agreement was reached to extend his contract.
Barcelona announced last Friday that it had reached an agreement with Hamza Abdelkarim to renew his contract until 2030, before the documents were officially signed on Tuesday.
The renewal represents another step in keeping the player within Barcelona’s plans for the coming years after he succeeded in attracting the club’s attention with his performances during the previous period.
Hamza Abdelkarim.. An Egyptian Talent Continuing His Journey at Barcelona ⭐
Hamza Abdelkarim is considered one of the emerging talents at Barcelona and has attracted attention with his performances in recent months, helping earn the Catalan club’s confidence and leading to the extension of his contract.
Remaining at Barcelona until 2030 represents an important milestone in the player’s career, particularly as he continues a different professional experience in Spain and looks to develop within an environment that includes many of football’s most promising young talents.
Between signing a new contract that keeps him at Barcelona and missing his favorite Egyptian dishes, Hamza Abdelkarim showed a different side of himself away from the pitch, revealing a small glimpse into his daily life in Spain.
And one humorous question may now be on the minds of Egyptian fans: Has Hamza found someone in Barcelona who can prepare Egyptian-style “pigeon” the way he is used to back home? 🇪🇬🍽️⚽
