Abdelrahman Abdou signs for Paris Saint-Germain
Abdelrahman Abdou: a choice reinforcement
Abdelrahman Abdou, 29, will play at left-back and arrives from Egyptian club Al-Ahly. The Egyptian international has taken part in competitions such as the Handball World Cup, the African Nations Championship and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as well as the IHF Club World Championship with Al-Ahly.
Abdelrahman Abdou is a versatile player, capable of both attacking power and effective defending. His balanced profile makes him an invaluable asset to the team, and his sense of the game and ability to project himself quickly into attacking and defensive situations make him a complete and determined player.
The arrival will also mark the reunion between the left-back and coach Stefan Madsen, who is currently in charge of Al-Ahly. He will also be reunited with his Egypt team-mate, right-back Omar Yahia.
We are delighted to welcome Abdelrahman Abdou for the 2025-2026 season. We were looking for a player who could contribute both in attack and defence. Abdelrahman's arrival will be facilitated by the ties he has already forged with his future coach, Stefan Madsen, which will enable him to integrate quickly and smoothly into our team.
I'm very happy to be joining Paris Saint-Germain Handball. It's an honour to be able to play for such a high-level club, and I'm particularly excited to be reunited with my coach, with whom I previously worked at Al-Ahly. I can't wait to take part in this new adventure and contribute to PSG's success.
