Career

society

Hosny began his professional career in 1997 at al Ahly Cairo in Egypt. In the following year he decided to move to Europe and signed with the German Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart . There he played 26 Bundesliga games until 2001 and scored two goals. Right from the start, he found it difficult to push past competitors like Jonathan Akpoborie , Fredi Bobic or Sreto Ristić . The following season, when Bobic and Akpoborie left the club, Hosny played more, but was only number three and four in the attack from VfB coach Ralf Rangnick behind the newcomers Sean Dundee and Ioan Viorel Ganea . In his 16 league appearances in 1999/00, Hosny was always substituted on. The Egyptian scored his first of a total of two Bundesliga goals in three years at VfB on November 6, 1999 in a 2-0 away win against VfL Wolfsburg . In his third season with the Swabians, Hosny was rarely used. For this reason, he decided in the summer of 2001 to move to the Belgian club KAA Gent . He made his debut for Kent in November 2001 in the league game against KSC Eendracht Aalst . But De Buffalos did not make the European breakthrough either and so after two more years Hosny returned to Egypt to his hometown club al Ahly Cairo. In July of the following year, the attacker went abroad again, where he found a new club in Çaykur Rizespor . At the Turkish club, however, Hosny was mostly just a spectator. Between 2006 and 2008 he tried his hand at other clubs on the Asian and North African continents. He played in Egypt for Al-Mokawloon al-Arab and Ismaily SC , and in China for Zhejiang Lucheng . He then ended his professional career.

National team

Hosny was a multiple Egyptian national player. In 2000 he was part of the squad for the selection that took part in the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana and Nigeria. The attacker made his competitive debut on January 23, 2000 in the first round match against Zambia , when coach Gérard Gili replaced him in the 78th minute for Radwan Yasser . In the last group game, Hosny scored his only tournament goal. Egypt were eliminated from Tunisia in the quarter-finals . The attacker was used in all possible encounters. Two years later, the offensive player was called up again for the 2002 African Cup of Nations. There Hosny was only a supplementary player. In addition, he didn't score a goal in the entire course of the competition.
