Career

Hamdy is a product of the Al Ahly youth system. On 18 December 2015, he made his debut with Al-Ahly in a 2015–16 Egyptian Premier League match against Smouha SC under José Peseiro. He started the match before being substituted in the second half.[2]

On 4 February 2021, Hamdy joined Canadian Major League Soccer club CF Montréal on loan for the 2021 season.[3] On 19 October 2021, Montréal announced they had exercised their purchase option on Hamdy.[4]

Upon completion of the 2023 Season, CF Montréal would announce that they would not pick up Hamdi's contract for 2024, ending his time with the club.[5]

In January 2024, Hamdy joined Zamalek. Later that year, on 19 May, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory over RS Berkane in the CAF Confederation Cup final second leg, which granted his club their second title in the competition by winning on away goals rule following a 2–2 draw on aggregate.[6]
