Ghana has forced the retirement of
one of the iconic figures in Africa
football as Egyptian legend
Mohammed Aboutrika has announced
that he will quit the game later this
year following their 6-1 thrashing by
the Black Stars.

The 34-year-old, who is regarded as
one of the finest players Africa has
ever produced, announced his decision
to quit in the wake of the Pharaohs
humiliation at the hands of the Black
Stars in a crucial World Cup playoff on
Tuesday.

The talented midfielder, who plays for
giants Al Ahly, had previously not
announced any plans to quit the game
as he is still in his prime and leading
the club in their impressive showing in
the African Champions League so far.

But the shocking defeat to Ghana has
forced Aboutrika to announce that he
will totally quit the game at the end of
the year when Al Ahly conclude their
Champions League campaign.
Egypt’s harsh 6-1 loss to Ghana on
Tuesday was surely a main factor
behind the 34-year-old taking such a
decision.

“Winning the African Champions
League with Al-Ahly inshaAllah (if God
wills) and playing in the Club World
Cup in Morocco then goodbye to
football and many thanks to all,”
Mohamed Aboutrika tweeted.

The words by the legend were few but
will surely break the hearts of many
and compound their misery following
their defeat to Ghana.

AbouTrika is undoubtedly one of the
best players ever in Egyptian football
history and playing in the World Cup
was something many believe he
deserved the most.

But Ghana has killed all those hopes
for the legend as he will now seek a
career in coaching and media where
he is loved by fans.

Aboutrika won several Africa Cup of
Nations titles for Egypt and also helped Al Ahly to conquer the continent several times.
