Sayed Moawad posted a message on Instagram on 6 November after Al-Ahly announced its squad for the Egypt Cup round-of-32 match against El Sekka El Hadid, leaving his son Omar out. The match is scheduled for 7 November at Cairo Stadium.
Moawad’s Instagram message
The former Al-Ahly and Egypt national team star wrote: “This is far too much, enough injustice, we have reached our limit, God is present.” Moawad named nobody and gave no reason for the message.

Houcine Ammouta, the Moroccan coach, named 23 players for the match. Eleven Al-Ahly players miss out, with three absent through injury and eight left out of the coaching staff’s plans for tactical reasons.
Moawad on Omar’s situation
In November 2025, the former Pharaohs left-back told television: “The name Sayed Moawad has wronged my son Omar when it comes to playing with the first team. And I am upset for him because he is talented.”
Loan and permanent-deal interest
Ahmed Shobair revealed that there were moves to loan Omar to Al-Bank Al-Ahly, while Zed were also interested in a permanent deal, before announcing that Al-Ahly had backed away from the idea.
