Club career
Abdelkarim joined the academy of Al Ahly in 2020, after passing trials with the club. He was called up to the Al Ahly senior squad for the first time in January 2025, ahead of a Egyptian Premier League match against Pharco.[1] Despite not making his debut in the game, the decision to call him up at such a young age drew praise from Egypt national youth team coach Tamer Hassan, who tipped Abdelkarim to become a key player for Al Ahly.[2]
The following month, on 6 February 2025, Abdelkarim would make his professional debut for the club, coming on as a late substitute for Emam Ashour in a 2–1 win against Petrojet.[3] In doing so, he became the youngest player to represent the club in the 21st century, surpassing Ramadan Sobhi's record by nine days.[4] The following week, it was reported that Dutch Eredivisie club Feyenoord were interested in taking Abdelkarim on trial.[5]

International career
Abdelkarim represented Egypt at the 2024 UNAF U-17 Tournaments held in Algeria and Morocco, scoring three goals in both to help his nation to both titles.[6] He was called up again for the 2025 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations, but was unable to help Egypt progress beyond the group stage, despite scoring twice. His Man-of-the-Match performance against Angola, including scoring once in Egypt's 2–1 victory, earned his nation a place at the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[7]
