VinceA Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Omar Khaled Mohamed Marmoush[1] Date of birth 7 February 1999 (age 21) I think this one is a long shot. But worth a mention. He seems fimrly entrenched in the Egypt team and Canada doesn't know about him. Edited June 23, 2020 by VinceA PopePouri and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 If he is a dual international and can play for Egypt, chances are he will play for Egypt and why? 2 words: Mo Salah But also Egypt have a pretty bright future in the CAF region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 What is his connection to Canada? He has already played 4 times in the Bundesliga, this is definitely long-shot territory but I guess you never know... toontownman and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still involved in their U23 setup. He has a shot at the Tokyo 2020(2021) Olympics. If he is named to the squad, Mo Salah could be one of Egypt's 3 overage players. Assuming the Olympic games go ahead, and he actually is eligible for Canada, there isn't a great deal the CSA should do before roughly March 2021 when we'll know if he makes that Egypt U23 squad for friendlies &/or training camps.

That and well just take a look at Egypt's squad like do you really think he is going to give up on wanting to play with Salah eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 He’s probably would be a great pickup for our program but I put this in the extreme long shot category. 1st- Egypt probably makes the WC next cycle. 2nd- Playing with Mo Salah 3rd- His connection to Canada is tenuous at best and he’s firmly part of Egypt’s plans.

I did a pretty thorough search online yesterday but couldn't find even a sliver of a clue about the Canadian connection. I did find out he's the first Egyptian to play in the Bundesliga, if what I read is correct, and that he's already featured for Egypt's U23s. Correction: he's not the first Egyptian in B1. I read a mis-translated source, apparently. Edited June 26, 2020 by nolando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only evidence I found was on Transfermarkt and on the Bundesliga website. Transfermarkt has him listed as having Canadian citizenship while the Bundesliga website states his nationality is Canadian. Also I doubt that he'll play for Canada but hey you never know.

Egypt has qualified for exactly 1 world cup tournament since 1994. Their second round group, which they need to win outright, has Aubameyang-led Gabon, plus Angola could surprise. It won't be an easy task for Egypt. The final round pits the 10 group winners into 5 two-legged home and away ties. The winners qualify. The likely teams would be Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali, Cameroon, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. Safe to say, no team in Africa should consider their qualification as "probable".
