Mostafa ‘Oufa’ Shobeir #23

Profile

Growing up, Shobeir could hardly have escaped football's gravity. His father, Ahmed Shobeir, is one of Egypt's most celebrated goalkeepers as the man between the sticks at the 1990 World Cup and at Al Ahly over a 13-year career. His son has followed in those footsteps, joining Al Ahly's academy before making his professional debut in 2020. Since then, he has established himself as a reliable presence for his club that is always calm under pressure. The 26-year-old kept nine consecutive clean sheets in the CAF Champions League – a competition record – on the way to his third continental trophy during the 2023-24 season and Fifa described him ahead of the Club World Cup as "impregnable".
