Four goals in five games: Hamza forces the Liga conversation
A Birmingham brace, a strike in Basel, then the Gamper opener — the Egyptian forward arrives ready.
Hamza Abdelkarim closed preseason with four goals in five appearances for FC Barcelona: a brace against Birmingham, a goal versus Basel, and the opener against Al Ahly in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
His move from Al Ahly became permanent in June 2026, a deal running to 2029 after a winter loan. At 18 he has gone from Cairo to Camp Nou inside a year.
Friendly numbers do not lock in a Liga start, but they explain why Flick keeps him in every matchday conversation as Barça open at Elche.
