Marwan Attia earned the title of top tackler thus far in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after making an immediate impression.

Top of the Tackling Charts

The 26-year-old Al Ahly midfielder delivered a commanding performance in the goalless draw against Inter Miami, winning five successful tackles, according to data provided by Sofascore. This feat places him at the top of the competition’s defensive rankings after the opening round of group matches.

From Kafr El Dawwar to Global Stage

Attia, a native of Kafr El Dawwar, has risen steadily to the top of Africa's defensive midfield rankings. After his impressive performance against the MLS team, the Egyptian media dubbed him "warrior" for his unwavering work ethic and sense for winning the ball.

Al Ahly’s Shrewd Investment Paying Off

Attia, who cost €841,000 to sign in 2023 from Al Ittihad Alexandria, has made 118 appearances for the Cairo powerhouses, tallying two goals and four assists. His midfield position is crucial to Marcel Koller's strategies.
