Kareem Sameh Mohamed Sami Ahmed (Arabic: كَرِيم سَامِح مُحَمَّد سَامِي أَحْمَد; born 17 February 2007) is an Egyptian footballer who plays as a forward for NCAA Division I team Pittsburgh Panthers.

Club career

Born in Egypt,[3] Ahmed's performances for a local amateur side caught the attention of Premier League sides Everton, Manchester City and Liverpool. He accepted an offer from the latter, stating that his decision was influenced by the fact that his idol, Mohamed Salah, played for Liverpool.

He joined Liverpool's academy, and would mark his debut for the under-18 team with a goal against Bournemouth in the FA Youth Cup - bundling the ball into the net after teammate Wellity Lucky's header was initially saved.[3][4] On 23 July 2025, he signed his first professional contract with Liverpool and joined the club's U21 squad for the 2025–26 season.[5]

He was released by Liverpool at the end of the 2025–26 season.[6] He subsequently enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, signing for the Pittsburgh Panthers men's soccer team.[7][8]

International career

In February 2022, Ahmed was called up to training camps with the Egyptian youth team.[9]
