Club Career Highlights

Playing for Petrojet

Marwan Mohsen started his professional career with Petrojet in the Egyptian Premier League. He joined them in the winter of 2010. His first game was on May 13, 2010, against El Gaish.

He played well and earned a spot on the Egypt U-23 squad. This team was trying to qualify for big tournaments like the 2011 All-Africa Games and the 2012 Summer Olympics. He scored 4 goals in the 2010–11 season.

In 2012, there was a lot of talk about Mohsen moving to a bigger club, possibly in Europe. Both top Egyptian clubs, Al Ahly and Zamalek, were interested in him. European teams also showed interest, especially after he played well for the Egypt U-23 team.

Mohsen had a great performance in the 2012 Toulon Tournament and also played well in the 2012 Summer Olympics. He had an amazing record of 21 goals in 31 matches. Later that year, he faced a health challenge that kept him from playing for a few months. However, he recovered fully and returned to the field, even scoring in friendly matches.

In 2013, Mohsen wanted to leave Petrojet to help secure his place on the national team. He almost moved to a Russian club called Amkar Perm, but the clubs could not agree on a transfer fee. He finished the 2012–13 season with 2 goals in 10 games for Petrojet.
