EP: First, introduce yourself and your career to the Egyptian fans...

“My name is Adam Mansour. I play for AJA Auxerre in France. I was born in Paris along with my elder brother and my younger sister. We started doing sports at a very early age. I first joined CDF de Paris from which I moved to AJA Auxerre.

“I love Egypt , and I can’t wait every time to visit it. My father was born in Cairo and taught us a lot about our origin and we are proud of it.”

EP: Did you get raised like any Egyptian ? For example, do you speak Arabic ?

“Of course, I learned a lot about my culture and my religion. I do all my prayers -alhamdulillah- and I love to read the Holy Quran, but I only have it in French language. I do speak Arabic and understand it very well.”
