Abdulrahman Fawzi

Abdulrahman Fawzi was an Egyptian professional football player and manager, who played as a winger. He played for Al-Masry SC and Zamalek SC as well as the Egypt national football team. He took part at the 1934 FIFA World Cup, where he scored twice for Egypt in their 4–2 loss against Hungary, which was the first time that an African team had competed at the FIFA World Cup. He was thus, the first African footballer to score at the World Cup. He would have been the first African to score a hat trick at the World Cup but his third goal was disallowed. The Egyptian goalkeeper that day, Mustafa Mansour, later said:

"When the game was 2–2, my colleague Fawzi took the ball from the centre and dribbled past all the Hungarian players to score a third goal. But, the referee cancelled the goal as an offside!"
