The Egyptian defender was awarded man of the match after their AFCON 2022 against Cameroon. Mohamed was crucial in their victory as he kept a lethal Cameroon striker, Abubakar, quiet for a whole game. He played fine tackles with good defense and finally converted his penalty during the shoot-out, sending them to the finals.

"I dedicate this award to my teammates, who helped my a lot during the game. It is the result of teamwork," He said.

Following his outstanding performances with his club and the national team over the last six months, Al Ahly recalled Mohamed Abdelmonem from Future F.C, where the club loaned him on September 15, 2021.

Man of the match

He produced the magic needed to get the Pharaohs through to the knock-out stages in a match that lacked much quality in the final third. The defender had never scored for his country before, but he was left unmarked in a hazardous situation and dutifully led his team into the last-16.

In an interview, it was stated,

"Egypt eased into the knock-out stages of the Africa Cup of Nations courtesy of a 1-0 victory over a toothless Sudan in Yaoundé.
Mohamed Abdelmonem’s first half strike was enough to earn the Pharaohs their second victory of the tournament as he was left unmarked near the six-yard line and dipped to powerfully head home a corner."

Abdelmonem made his AFCON debut against Senegal in the final game of 2021. Egypt only allowed two goals in regulation play during the tournament, and Abdelmonem was chosen man of the match for his efforts against Cameroon. In two crucial matches, he was named man of the game, against Sudan in the knock-out stage, Cameroon in the quarterfinals, and Senegal in the finals.

"Thanks to God for this victory and for reaching the final. Fatigue? It is not important. Even if we are going to play (the final) after 24 hours, we still want to win the title. We respect Senegal but we want to return home with the trophy," Abdel-Moneim told beIN Sports in a pitch-side interview.
