50 years ago, specifically in January of the year 1974, Al-Nasr, the dean of the Emirates clubs, played with Al-Ahly of Cairo, which they visited for the first time at the Grand Dubai Stadium, a sandy stadium on which the Brazilian Santos played, led by Pelé, a year before the Egyptian stars attended. It was a good opportunity to meet with many… The beautiful names, and for memory and documentation, represented Al-Ahly in the match: goalkeeper Essam Abdel Moneim, along with Gamal Abdel Raouf, Hassan Hamdi, Mohamed Abdel Samie, Fathi Mabrouk, Mushir Othman, who played for Al-Ahly Dubai several months after this visit, Samir Mahmoud, and Mahmoud Abdel-Hay, Ali Jaber, Captain Mahmoud Al-Khatib, and Ibrahim Abdel Samad also played for Zamalek Al-Wasl currently. In the second half, Ikrami, Hani Mustafa, and Ragab Abdel Moneim played for Al-Nasr, and all three participated with our military team and were among the best players in character and performance. We will never forget them, next to Mustafa Abdo and Waheed. Kamel also played for Al-Nasr in Dubai, as the strong relationship that linked us with Egyptian football has historical roots.
As for Al-Nasr, Rashid Issa, Hassan Haider, Muhammad Al-Kouss, Rajab Abdel-Rahman, Ahmed Khorshid, Ali Abdel-Hamid, Ghanem Mubarak, Ismail Jaafar, Awad Mubarak, Suhail Salem and Dahmadouun’s sister played for them. They were used by Al-Ahly. They contributed and made the victory over the devils, and this is The match has a story. The visit of the Century Club in Africa to the country, where memories are renewed. Happy New Year, with the blessed Eid Al-Adha, where thousands of citizens and members of the Arab community, especially the Egyptians, gathered to follow the big match. The Al-Ahly delegation included professors of sports journalism, Abdel Majeed Noman, Najeeb Al-Mestakawi, and Sheikh of commentators Muhammad Latif, may God have mercy on them. The match was broadcast on Dubai Radio, with the voice of Abdel Moneim Radwan, and was refereed by Wassim Qatina and Muhammad Sharkas from Egypt, and Abdullah Al-Sai, the first Emirati international referee. Today, we are happy with Al-Ahly with the achievements it has achieved throughout its rich history, and how much I am. happy
In that match, when I was no more than fifteen at the time, days passed by, as Al-Nasr wore the purple color that it had given up to Al-Ain, and the visit of the brothers came, after they had played two matches in Qatar, in the first of which it won against Al-Sadd, the league champion by seven, and in the second match it won over the Qatar national team 3-0, In particular, the late Humaid Al Tayer (may God rest his soul), Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al Nasr, traveled to Doha and is known as the father of university graduates, where his honorable sons assumed high positions in the state and held ministerial portfolios for long periods. They are Ahmed, Obaid, and Matar, who held the ministries of finance, education, education, youth, and labor. Today, Dr. Tariq, Vice President of the National Council. Al-Ittihad and the youngest son, the world speedboat champion, are all athletes with good contributions, and the late Hamid, may God have mercy on him, was one of the men of the nation who had humanitarian contributions that we are proud of, and he was a fan of sports. He personally went to Qatar to agree with Saleh Slim, in order to play one match in Dubai, so they welcomed the invitation. Al-Nasr won with a goal by Dr. Hamdoun, which he scored at the beginning of the second half, and he was used, along with his big brother Suhail, to participate. I remembered the Red Devils, when they played for the first time, on an unforgettable day of the blessed Eid Al-Adha, but fifty years ago!! It was like those days. .
