Ahmed Katou joined Al-Ittihad Al-Sakndary in 1950, after being discovered by coach Sayed Houda, and remained there until his retirement from active competition in 1959. He was also a member of the Egyptian national team during the 1950s and won two medals at the Mediterranean Games: silver in 1951 and gold in 1955. Additionally, he was selected to represent his country at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, but did not appear in either of Egypt’s matches during the tournament, where the nation was eliminated in round one. Katou turned to coaching and helped his former team win the Egypt Cup three times: in 1963, 1973, and 1976.
