International career
changeMorsy has been called up for Egypt for the first time in 2015 for a friendly match against Jamaica. On 4 June 2014, Morsy made his debut against Jamaica as a substitute and managed to score his first international goal to make it 2–2.[1] He celebrated his goal by pointing out to his shirt number 15, and drawing a heart in the air, dedicating the goal to his injured teammate Gedo, who missed the match due to a severe injury, used to celebrate the same way, and used to wear the same shirt.
