Professional Journey
Mostafa Fathi began his professional football career during the 2012-13 season after joining Balqas Club. Later joined Zamalek SC, helping the club achieve success in domestic and continental competitions.

He was also influential in the club’s Egypt Cup triumph the following season, scoring the third goal in a 3-1 victory over rivals Al Ahly. Interest in Fathi from Serie A clubs had emerged previously. In June, Bologna submitted a €400,000 offer for a one-year loan, but Zamalek rejected the proposal, reportedly valuing the winger at no less than €4 million.

He returned to Zamalek in 2018 and later spent time on loan at Smouha before rejoining Zamalek. In 2022, he joined Pyramids FC on loan, with the club making the transfer permanent in 2023, becoming an important part of the team’s attacking play and regularly contributing to key moments helping the team win trophies and stay on top of the league. Fathi in his peak was known to have speed and dribbling to beat defenders and a key figure in the Egyptian league.
