Kouka started his youth career with Al Ahly SC. After Al Ahly did not offer him a professional contract, he decided to leave and in December 2011 he joined Portuguese side Rio Ave.
Rio Ave
Kouka played for Rio Ave's youth team for one season. He was promoted to the first team in the beginning of the 2012–13 season and debuted on 9 September 2012 against F.C. Paços de Ferreira. In February 2015 Kouka was second in the top scorers chart in the Portuguese league.[4]
Braga
On 26 August 2015, Kouka signed a five-year contract with S.C. Braga.[5][6] On 22 October 2015, he scored the first goal in Braga's 3-2 Europa League group stage win against Olympique de Marseille. In tears during his celebration, Hassan dedicated the goal to his father, who had died the day before.
International career
As an Egyptian under-20 national team player, Kouka played at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey scoring twice against Iraq[7] and England,[8] while assisting his country's only goal against Chile.[9]
