Rwanda midfielder Bonheur Mugisha has joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Hazem from Egyptian side El Masry, completing a move on 2 August 2026.
The 26-year-old defensive midfielder arrives in Saudi Arabia after one season with El Masry, having moved to the Egyptian club from Tunisia’s Stade Tunisien in August 2025. Mugisha made 16 Premier League appearances for El Masry during the 2025-26 campaign, playing 1,026 minutes.
Mugisha was part of the El Masry side that won the Egyptian League Cup in the 2025-26 season. He also scored five goals in 35 appearances in Ligue 1 across his career, while making eight appearances in the CAF Confederation Cup and eight in the CAF Champions League.
The Kicukiro-born midfielder began his senior career with Rwandan club APR FC before moving to Al-Ahli in July 2023. He then joined AS Marsa in September that year, with the transfer followed by a switch to Stade Tunisien on a free transfer in September 2024.
Mugisha is listed as a right-footed midfielder and stands 1.90m tall. His move to Al-Hazem takes him into the Saudi Pro League after spells in Rwanda, Egypt and Tunisia.
His season at El Masry included a further 13 competitive appearances in cup and continental football, taking his recorded total for the campaign beyond his league outings. He registered one assist in the Egyptian League Cup and scored once in the CAF Confederation Cup.
The move continues a career that has taken Mugisha through clubs in three African football countries before his arrival in Saudi Arabia. At Al-Hazem, he joins a club competing in the Saudi Pro League, with his transfer recorded on 2 August 2026.
Mugisha has therefore left El Masry after one season and begun his next chapter with Al-Hazem in Saudi Arabia.
