He began his professional career with Al Ahly on April 24, 1977, when he replaced Al-Ahly striker Mahmoud El-Khatib at the beginning of the second half against El-Sekka El-Hadid in the 26th week of the Egyptian Premier League, and scored his first goal only 23 minutes after his participation, scoring the third and final goal for Al Ahly in the match against Ahmed.
Abdel-Hamid scored his last goal for Al Ahly, against El-Salergani, Isco's goalkeeper, on May 1, 1982, in the 25th round, in the 67th minute, to lead Al-Ahly to a 3-0 victory.
His career with Al Ahly continued for 6 years until he suffered a serious injury on October 10, 1982 in a joint match with goalkeeper Ekramy, which completely changed his football path.
Abdel-Hamid scored 73 goals in the Egyptian Premier league, placing him in fourth place on the list of Zamalek’s top scorers, behind Abdel Halim Ali, Ali Khalil, and Hassan Shehata, ahead of Hamada Emam by one goal, his record in 188 matches.
