Islam Issa El Sayed Mohamed Attia (Arabic: إسلام عيسى السيد محمد عطية; born 1 February 1996), is an Egyptian footballer who plays for Egyptian Premier League club Ceramica Cleopatra as a right winger and the Egypt national team.[2]

Islam started his career with Al Nasr in youth level, but struggled to find a place in the first team after getting promoted. He joined Egyptian Third Division side Al Obour in 2016 on a free transfer,[3] and returned to Al Nasr in the following year after showing great potential with the third division side.[4] He plays for Pyramids in the Egyptian Premier League after agreeing on a transfer fee of £E10m (~$565k).[5]
