On December 3, 2014 Ismaily SC officially rejected the Al-Masry request for the loan until the end of the season. The Brazilian coach refused to sell the goalkeeper and refused Awad to leave the club in any case. However, Awad did not participate in any official match since the beginning of the season, Awad wanted to leave the team for a loan, and the team agreed to let Awad go out for a loan to Al-Masry to be able to participate in the official games, to return to the lineups Ismaily SC beginning from the following season, and then loaned Mohamed Awad out for Al-Masry for 6 months starting from Winter transfer period for 600 thousand pounds until the end of the season. Awad participated in 22 matches in which he maintained a clean sheet during ten matches. On 9 March 2015 Ismaily SC officials decided to terminate the loan with the end of the football season and refused to renew the loan contract due to the need of Awad during the following period.
