Ziad Mohamed Mohamed Farag (Arabic: زياد فرج; born 8 February 2002) is an Egyptian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Farag was first called up to the Al Masry first team squad in mid-2019 by then-manager Ehab Galal, alongside teammate Ahmed Youssef.[2] Having been promoted to the first team in late 2019, Farag suffered an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament while on national team duty with Egypt's under-17 team.[3]

After four seasons in the Al Masry first team without featuring regularly, Farag was loaned to fellow Egyptian Premier League club Al Mokawloon ahead of the 2023–24 season on a two-year deal.[4] Despite this, the following season he was loaned to Petrojet.[5]

International career

Having already represented the nation at under-17 level, Farag was called up to Egypt's under-20 squad in July 2020, having already represented the side at the 2019 UNAF U-20 Tournament.[6] He scored for the nation's under-23 side against Uzbekistan in October 2023.[7]
