Mostafa Saad Abdallah Sayed Ahmed (Arabic: مُصْطَفَى سَعْد عَبْد الله سَيِّد أَحْمَد; born 22 August 2001), also known as Mostafa Saad Messi, is an Egyptian professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Egyptian Premier League club ZED.

Club career

In September 2022, Saad signed for Al Ahly on a five-year deal. He suffered an injury shortly after joining Al Ahly, keeping him out for three weeks and disrupting his integration into the first team. Despite this injury, manager Marcel Koller promised Saad in November 2022 that he would receive more game time.

In January 2023, Saad asked to leave Al Ahly on loan, due to a lack of playing time, with a number of Egyptian Premier League sides interested, including former club Ceramica Cleopatra. He was eventually loaned to Smouha, thanking manager Ahmed Samy for giving him his debut against ENPPI, despite not yet having trained with the squad.

International career

Saad has represented Egypt at under-23 level.

Style of play

Saad is nicknamed Messi after Argentine playmaker Lionel Messi, due to the two sharing a similar stature and style of play.
