Club career

Panetolikos

On 22 August 2015, Warda signed a three-year contract with Panetolikos F.C. on a free transfer from Al Ahly. Panetolikos winger Amr Warda is happy to be rewarded for the Best Goal of the second matchday in the Super League Greece. "I'm very happy that fans voted my goal as the best. I'll try to do my best for me and my team. This goal was important not only for me but for my team too. We proved to be a good team. From my first day in Panetolikos everyone treated me nice. We co-operate and we all try for the best", Warda said. The attacking midfielder is a transfer target of the big three of Super League, according to his compatriots. On 20 December 2015, he scored the first goal in a 2–0 crucial home win against Iraklis. He was named man of the match.

On 4 March 2016, Warda was called up in Egypt squad ahead of friendly games against Nigeria on 25 and 29 March. On 11 September 2016, he scored his first goal for the 2016–17 season in a 2–1 away loss against PAOK. A week later he scored in a 2–0 away win against rivals Atromitos. On 6 November 2016, he scored the first foal in a 2–1 home win against AEL.

PAOK

On 24 January 2017, Warda signed a 3.5-year contract with PAOK, for an annual fee of €250,000 . He became the seventh Egyptian to play for PAOK after former Egyptian internationals Magdy Tolba, Hossam Hassan, Ibrahim Hassan, Abdel Sattar Sabry, Shikabala and Amir Azmy. The transfer fee is set to €350,000, while Panetolikos kept a 15% future percentage sale. He chose to wear number 7 in Greece and number 74 in European matches. On 23 April 2017, he scored his first Super League goal with PAOK in a 3–1 away win against Platanias Warda, who played the full 90 minutes, scored the opener after four minutes when he shot into the bottom corner following a low cross from the left. On 2 July 2017, according to media, Warda would not follow PAOK's squad in preparation for disciplinary problems and would soon be loaned.

On 9 August 2017, it was announced Warda would be loaned to Feirense. He joined the Portuguese club on a one-year loan deal worth €1.25 million. On 12 August 2017, however, Portuguese media reported Warda would exit Feirense just three days after signing his contract with the club. Record claimed that Warda harassed the wives of two of his teammates. Therefore, besides the players' allegations the Portuguese club was set to terminate the agreement.

Loan to Atromitos

On 29 August 2017, Warda joined Atromitos on a season-long loan. On 23 September 2017, he scored his first goal with the club in a 3–0 home win against Lamia On 16 December 2017, his club beat 3–1 struggling rivals Kerkyra on the road, thanks to a second-half brace by the international midfielder, who named MVP of the game. Warda was named the best playmaker in Greek Super League first round after his displays with Atromitos. Warda scored five goals and assisted twice in 12 outings in the league.

In the summer of 2018, Warda returned to PAOK ahead of the 2018–19 season. On 21 August 2018, Warda scored an important away goal in a 1–1 away draw game for UEFA Champions League Playoffs, 1st leg against Benfica. Warda is set to depart the club with the possibility of returning to Atromitos, where he played on loan last year. A feud between Warda and PAOK manager, Razvan Lucescu saw Warda being dropped from the squad on several occasions.

Second spell in Atromitos

On 24 January 2019, Warda rejoined Atromitos for the rest of the 2018–19 season, with an option to make the transfer permanent. On 16 February 2019, Warda struck to make the score 2–0 as he had the simplest task of tapping the ball into an empty net after a superb run from fellow PAOK loanee Dimitris Chatziisaias ended with him serving up a perfect assist, in a 2–0 away win against PAS Giannina. On 23 February 2019, he equalized the score with a head kick after an assist from Javier Umbides in a 1–1 away draw against Asteras Tripoli.

Loan to AEL

On 30 August 2019, Warda joined AEL on a season-long loan. On 28 September 2019, he scored his first goal with the club, with a header after Ergys Kaçe's corner sealing a 3–2 away win against Aris. On 22 January 2020, scored a brace in a thrilling 2–2 home draw game against Panetolikos F.C., first by a spot-kick to put Larissa back into the match and just six minutes later, with a penalty kick when Frederico Duarte brought down Warda, and the Egyptian international made no mistake for a second time from 11 meters.

Volos

On 28 September 2020, having completed his loan spell at AEL, the 27-year-old has left the White-Blacks for Ángel López Pérez's side. The Egyptian international has joined Volos FC on a year contract for an undisclosed fee. On 17 October 2020, he scored a goal on his debut in a 2–1 win against PAS Giannina.

Third spell to PAOK

International career

Warda with Egypt at the 2018 FIFA World Cup

On 11 October 2015, Warda made his debut for the Egypt national team in a friendly match against Zambia in Abu Dhabi. His exceptional season year with Panetolikos was his passport to be called by Héctor Cúper to the 30-man provisional 2017 Africa Cup of Nations squad. He helped Egypt reach the final by scoring the last penalty in the semifinals over the Burkina Faso, but the crucial last match ended in a 1–2 defeat by Cameroon.
