Mostafa Mahmoud Abdelkader El Aash (Arabic: مصطفى العش; born 11 October 2000) is an Egyptian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Egyptian Premier League club Al Ahly.
El‑Aash began his journey in football with Shabab Kom Hamada in Egypt's Third Division. His performances in the 2020–21 season attracted Ghazl El Mahalla SC, who secured his transfer for EGP 300,000, with a 15% resale clause. Demonstrating his capabilities as a commanding defender, he quickly became a standout performer for the team, despite difficult campaigns in the Egyptian Premier League, earning widespread recognition and attracting attention from top-tier clubs.[3] On 7 June 2023, he scored his first league goal in a 1–1 draw against Al Masry.[4]
In ِ September 2023, El‑Aash transferred to ZED FC in a notable deal reportedly worth EGP 20 million payable to Ghazl El Mahalla. His development continued impressively at ZED, where he made 49 appearances across all competitions. While he didn't register any goals or assists, his defensive consistency and versatility—able to operate both centrally and as a left-back—drawn praise from scouts and coaches alike.[3]
In January 2025, Al Ahly secured El‑Aash services initially on loan.[3] On 10 June 2025, Al Ahly finalized the transfer permanently, signing El‑Aash to a four‑year contract, with the transfer fee estimated to be EGP 60 million.[5]
