As a Tunisian I can attest that Abutrika remains the most loved football player ever, even more than Mo Salah. He was our nemesis on the field (Tunisian national team and Esperance sportif de Tunis) but after the games we flocked to him for autographs! Let me tell you that Egypt lost a lot of popularity among North African football fans for what they did to him and Al ahla and ultras.... and Egyptian football as a whole. They recovered now somewhat but they're still nowhere near their 2006-2010 level. And for the non Arabs/Africans out there, Egyptians are the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Don't let the actions of politicians cloud your judgement vis-à-vis this glorious nation!

As a Moroccan, and like many Moroccans, I consider Aboutrika the best Arabic football player of all time. His technical skills, movement, dribbling, personality, and attitude both on and off the pitch are phenomenal. If he had chosen to play abroad, I am confident that without a doubt, he would have been one of the best players of all time.

Forget about all his trophies, goals and many great moments, you just have to watch Egypt vs Brazil in the 2009 confederations cup.

He's the only person who always impressed me throughout the years with his consistency. Both on and off the field. Many heroes and idols rose and fell. Abo Treika is the only one who never changed his positions under the pressure of money, fame, glory, threats, exile, accusations and much more. A true Hero for many generations in the whole Arab world! The only person who united Algeria and Egypt during the peak of tensions. I wish we had more of him but sadly no one, only in my humble opinion, matched his legacy.

Funny story, wen i started to embrace my love for football l happened to be watching an afcon match and then i heard the commentator say "Egypt most capped player" referring to Aboutrika but since i was a newbie then i thought it meant most kept player like they really love him so much such that they keep him so much😂. I was like wow this player must be great. So each time i heard commentators say Spain most capped player and so forth i was like ooh so thats Spain finest, so thats Brazil's finest player wow. Later on wen i became familiar with football terminology and kept hearing this and learning the game i felt embarrassed o myself now knowing wat a cap means for players at international level😂.

As alahly fan i consider him my best footballer i ever watch. he was seen in my club's best moments inside and outside football. what a player 22❤️

Abou Trika is a man of principles. In Egypt any person that is not in line with the regime could be accused of terrorist crimes. The Egyptian government allowed him to leave the country (to avoid any local confrontation) then publicly labeled him as a terrorist and seized his assets. Although Abou Trika being 100% against the current regime and being wrongly accused he never spoke a single word criticizing Egypt. He was denied to attend the funeral of his father, his kids are not allowed to live and play for an egyptian team. Due to his popularity he is considered as an enemy of the state.

Abu Trika, another sportsman bigger than any club. With more balls and humanity than Ronaldo or Messi. He didnt sold his soul to money or an easy life. He lost his freedom but won everyone's respect, also from his enemies. Honestly I didnt knew this story but needs to be know because our media is controled by powerful people that only let us adore useless idols, useless hobbies and sports.
