Ahmad Atef Qatta, the star of Pyramids, confirmed that his team will compete in all tournaments this season.

He added via "On Sport FM" radio: "Pyramids is not far from its level, but it is normal for the beginning of the season to have fluctuations in performance. However, the performance and results will improve in the future. Wadi Degla is a respectable team, and Ismaily is a historic team with a great legacy and has wonderful fans."

He continued: "Our ambitions and goals have increased after winning the African Champions League, and our motivations have also increased to compete in all tournaments in the new season. We were close to winning the league and the Egypt Cup, but we were not fortunate."

He added: "We hope to win the league and the Egypt Cup in the new season. I am lucky to have won the African Champions League at a young age. Pyramids is a strong team with big names that have experience and history and have played in global tournaments, and we can achieve everything."

He concluded: "I am a player who loves challenges. I started at Pyramids and then was loaned to Al-Mokawloon Al-Arab and ZED. Although I was worried about returning after the Olympics, Mr. Yurtchich's talk reassured me, and the man bet on my effort, and he won the bet, and I won the African Champions League trophy."
