Sudanese Wins Arab Football Federation’s Leading Scorer Prize
21 April, 2019
KHARTOUM (Sudanow) - Giants FC Almirrikh Football terrific scorer Mohammad Abdelrahman has won the Arab Football Federation’s scorer’s prize for 2019 for his spectacular performance in the recent Arab Clubs Cup.
He was awarded the scorer’s cup, in addition to a financial prize of $200,000, according to the Arab Football Confederation.
Abdelrahman (nicknamed Algurbal) has scored 7 goals in the contest, including a hat-trick in the match against the powerful Algerian Alettihad Club.
During the match against Alettihad Abdelrahman also scored a stunning goal in minute one of the game that sent the Almirrikh fans and footballers around the Arab World crazy.
But he failed to score during the match against the Étoile Sportive du Sahel of Tunisia in the semi-finals because he was continuously marked during the match, often besieged by three players at a time from the Tunisian side that qualified with an aggregate of 0/1 that took them to the cup final match. The Tunisia club had beaten Almirrikh 0/1 in Tunisia and drew with them 0/0 in a match played in Omdurman here.
Then the Tunisians managed to win the financially rewarding cup after defeating FC Alhilal of Saudi Arabia 2/1 in a match played in Abu Dhabi last Friday.
Abdelrahman was born in Bait Almal suburb of Omdurman, twin city of Khartoum across the White Nile, in 1993. His height is 171 centimeters.
He had played for the Bait Almal Club in Omdurman and then moved to giants FC Alhilal of Omdurman in 2010 from which he moved to their archrivals Almerriikh in 2017. He also played for the country’s national teams of all degrees, including the National Team of Sudan (seniors).
Abdelrahman, who scores with both feet, is also an excellent header.
Football fans were very much moved when he lay on the ground like to have fallen dead after he scored in the Algerian FC Mouloudia, in protest against the heavy-handed-handling by the security of the defunct regime of bloody dictator Omar Albashir of the young demonstrators. An approximate 100 protestors were reportedly killed in the events.

Stories from the Heart of the Battlefield From a University of Khartoum Professor to a Vegetable Seller in Cairo
Cairo (Sudanow) In one of Cairo’s neighborhoods, where the stories of passersby intersect with the details of everyday life, the story began with a quiet-faced Sudanese man standing behind a small vegetable stall. He carefully arranged tomatoes and greens, selling them with a smile. Few of those passing by knew that the man they addressed so simply had spent years of his life in lecture halls and scientific research labor...
