Egypt: Haissem Hassan set to join the Pharaohs

Haissem Hassan could soon be joining Egypt for the March training camp, according to several confirmed discussions between the player's entourage and the Federation staff. After a convincing season in Spain, the Real Oviedo attacking midfielder is on the verge of being called up for this gathering. His presence will give the head coach a chance to assess the squad’s strengths ahead of global competitions.

Haissem Hassan is one of the most dangerous ball carriers in Europe, capable of unsettling well-organized defenses much like Lamine Yamal and Jérémy Doku. At just 21, the young Egyptian has established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in Spain’s second division. His explosive ball-carrying ability, combined with his tactical intelligence that allows him to surge forward rapidly, makes him a constant threat to defensive lines. Performance metrics show that his acceleration with the ball regularly exceeds 3.2 m/s²—an exceptional figure for attacking midfielders of his age. At Real Oviedo, he has become a key player.

Ongoing talks between Hassan and the Egyptian Federation aim to enable Haissem Hassan to join Egypt for the March camp, so the head coach can assess his integration into the squad, his adaptation to the national tactical philosophy, and his potential contribution to an ambitious World Cup campaign.
