Mido, a former Egyptian footballer, is dedicated to developing young talent in Egypt through his academy, The Maker in Cairo. He observes that Egypt has significantly fewer players in European leagues compared to other leading African countries, despite having a large population and rich football history. Mido draws on his experiences as a player, emphasizing the importance of mindsets and resilience for aspiring athletes. He believes Egypt has the potential to produce more professional players and is using his knowledge to guide the next generation.
Mido stated, "If you compare the number of Egyptian players who play in Europe to any of the other top African countries in football, the gap is massive."
In Mido's words, "We are a country with 120 million people and we are physically strong, we have a great history. We have enough talents."
Mido emphasized, "I always tell these kind of things to the boys - that it's very important if you want to make it to the top to have the right mindset."
