In 2008–09 Egyptian Premier League season, Gaafar scored 11 goals[2] for Itesalat making him the top goal scorer of his team. However, those goals were not enough to save Itesalat from relegation to the second division that season. As a result, he transferred to Zamalek before the beginning of the 2009/2010 season. In season 2009/2010 he scored 9 goals beginning his first season with zamalek. Even though the head coach Hossam Hassan has bought abou kone and the return of amr zaki from hull city and the Iraqi player emad Mohamed, he put ahmed gaafar as the main striker. In season 2010/2011 he scored 5 goals up until the first round is finished. The zamalek team has bought Mohamed oudeya, the Algerian player.
