Barcelona’s long-term investment in Hamza Abdelkarim continues to look increasingly promising after the young forward achieved a remarkable milestone on football’s biggest stage.
As such, after appearing in the tournament opener against Belgium, the 18-year-old became the youngest player ever to represent Egypt at a FIFA World Cup.
The teenager was introduced in the 75th minute of Egypt’s 1-1 draw and immediately entered the history books.
It marked another important chapter in what has already been a rapid rise for one of Barcelona’s most exciting young prospects.
After arriving from Al Ahly earlier this year, Abdelkarim has wasted little time making an impression both at club and international level.
