A Club with a Purpose

Meet Coach Khaled

Khaled began his soccer journey in Cairo, Egypt, playing for El Shams Club before joining one of Africa’s most prestigious clubs, El Zamalek SC, at the youth level. His career took off as he represented Egypt's National Teams at the U14, U16, U18, and U20 levels, including appearances in the African Championship U18 tournament and World Cup qualifications.
Khaled earned 19 caps with the Egyptian National Team and played professionally in France with Troyes and Sochaux, before returning to Egypt to compete for Haras El Hodood SC.

After retiring from professional play, Khaled dedicated himself to developing the next generation of players. His coaching career includes positions at the Barcelona Academy in Egypt and Total Futbol Academy in Virginia. In 2023, he founded Elite Kickers Soccer, with the goal of bringing professional-level training to youth players in the local community. Khaled holds both UEFA and USSF Licenses, bringing European methodology, discipline, and technical excellence into every training session. His coaching philosophy emphasizes hands-on instruction — Khaled personally demonstrates skills during sessions, allowing players to learn by example and perfect their techniques under direct guidance. Elite Kickers Soccer is more than just a club — it’s a community dedicated to real player development. Our players don't just practice; they grow through a structured environment, strong fundamentals, and a professional mentality. Today, Elite Kickers teams compete in top leagues like the USYS South Atlantic Conference, with a growing track record of success and a commitment to preparing players for the next level.
