The 22-year-old, who joined the Cairo giants this summer from Ukrainian side Oleksandriya, came on as a second-half substitute in Saturday’s goalless draw against Arab Contractors.
Alvina showed glimpses of his dribbling skills during his 30-minute appearance but was unable to help Zamalek break the deadlock.
“I’m so happy to be able to make my debut wearing this glorious jersey,” he wrote on Instagram on Sunday.
“The result wasn’t what we expected, but we’ll keep working for a future of achievements.”
Alvina is one of 10 new signings as Zamalek rebuild their squad following a disappointing league campaign last season.
The White Knights opened their season with a 2-0 win over Ceramica Cleopatra, followed by the draw with Arab Contractors.
They currently sit third in the league table with four points, two behind early leaders Masry, who have six.
