The Saudi NEOM team, which includes the Egyptian defender Ahmed Hegazy, fell again in its preparatory camp in Spain, after losing to the Qatari Rayyan with two goals without a response, in the second defeat of the team during the period of preparations for the new season.
Al Rayyan dualism deepens the wounds of NEOM
There were only minutes on the start of the friendly meeting until the Qatari Rayyan imposed his control, recording two consecutive goals through the duo Roger and Mohamed Siraj, to settle the confrontation in its first half. Ahmed Hegazy participated mainly in the match that was held in the Saudi team’s preparation camp in Spain.
This loss comes to be the second for the NEOM team during its external camp, after it also fell against the Spanish Levante with the same result, which raises questions about the team’s readiness before the start of the upcoming season in the AFC.
Who participates with NEOM in the European camp?
The technical staff of the NEOM team included an expanded list of the current Spain camp, which included prominent names such as Marin Bolka, Alpha Simido, Saeed Bin Rahma, Alexander Lacazette, and Riyadh Sharahili, along with Hegazy. This camp is a major station to prepare the starting lineup and review the physical readiness for the players.
What did Ahmed Hegazy offer since joining NEOM?
International defender Ahmed Hegazy joined NEOM in the summer of last year from the Saudi Federation, after a successful march during which he crowned the professional league and Super Cup titles with “Tigers”. Since joining NEOM, he played 23 games, and has played a great role in the historic team’s rise to the Elite League.
At the international level, Hegazy has a busy record with Egypt, as he participated in 88 international matches, and he fought five copies of the African Nations Cup, as well as his representation of the Pharaohs in two Olympic rounds.
