Perspective
Having joined the academy of Al Ahly at the age of seven from the Red Sea Football Academy, Koka rose through the ranks to make his professional debut in the Egyptian Cup against Abu Qair Semad on 21 November 2020.[2][3] Having struggled to establish himself as a first-team player, Koka contracted COVID-19 shortly after featuring in a 1–1 draw with Future on 26 December 2021, with Al-Ahly's medical staff estimating that he would return to first team training in March 2022.[4] However, he went on to suffer with complications of the disease, and would not return to first team action until May of the same year, coming on as a late substitute in a CAF Champions League game against ES Sétif on 14 May.[5]
Koka was injured again at the end of the 2021–22 season, suffering a hamstring injury in training, and missing the final games of the season against Pyramids and Zamalek.[6] He would then miss the beginning of the 2022–23 season after suffering with a back muscle injury.[7] He returned to the first team, but would be injured again in a game against ENPPI, being taken to the hospital after suffering an injury to his eye having been hit in the face from close range by the ball.[8] He injured his back in a game against the National Bank of Egypt in late January 2023, and would miss almost six weeks before returning to the team in March 2023.[9]
