CAF mourns late Egyptian player, Ahmed Refaat

The Confédération Africaine de Football (“CAF”) is saddened by the news of the sudden passing of Egyptian player Ahmed Refaat who played for Morden Future in the Egyptian Premier League.
CAF President, Dr Patrice Motsepe conveys heartfelt condolences to the family of Ahmed Refaat, Egyptian Football Association (“EFA”) and the Egyptian Football family.
May Ahmed Refaat’s soul rest in eternal peace.

Ahmed El Sayed Refaat Ahmed was born on 20 June 1993 and was an Egyptian footballer who played mainly as a winger.

He made his debut for ENPPI in 2013, coming from the youth academy, and quickly established a place for himself in the club’s starting line-ups. He joined Zamalek in 2016, and won the Egyptian Super Cup during his spell with the club, before joining his former club ENPPI and Al Ittihad on loan. In 2020, he then joined Al Masry, and after one successful season, Refaat joined newly-promoted side Future (later renamed Modern Future), and guided the team to win the inaugural Egyptian League Cup trophy in 2022, and to qualify for the CAF Confederation Cup in two consecutive seasons. He later had a loan spell at UAE side Al Wahda.

Refaat also represented Egypt at both youth and senior teams. He was part of the winning squad of the 2013 African U-20 Championship, and played at the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup.

Refaat, 31, suffered cardiac arrest a few months ago and died on Saturday, 06 July 2024.
