EXCLUSIVE: Al Hilal’s Youngster Asmat Abdul Hamid Arrives in Egypt After U.S. Absence

Young Sudanese left-back Asmat Abdul Hamid has arrived in Egypt from the United States, marking a significant development in his return to professional football with Al Hilal SC. The player made headlines in the past after reportedly absconding during a trip to the U.S. when Ghanaian club Asante Kotoko played a friendly against D.C. United — an incident that raised questions about his future.

Despite the controversy, Hamid went on to secure a loan move to Ghana’s Asante Kotoko SC, where he gained valuable playing time and showed signs of maturity on the pitch. His performances in the Ghana Premier League have been promising, and now, with his loan spell set to expire in June, he is expected to finally link up with his parent club, Al Hilal.

According to Sudafoot, Al Hilal remains committed to integrating Hamid into their squad despite his earlier absence. The club believes in his potential and is prepared to give him a fresh start under the right conditions. His arrival in Egypt could be part of a transitional plan before formally joining up with Al Hilal in Sudan.

Hamid’s journey — marked by both challenges and resilience — has drawn attention, and his upcoming return will be closely watched by fans and analysts. If he can maintain his form and focus, the young defender has the chance to turn a turbulent past into a promising future with one of Sudan’s biggest clubs.
