Ahmed Abdelaziz Shobeir (Arabic: أحمد عبد العزيز شوبير; born 28 September 1960)[2] is former Egyptian goalkeeper who played for Al Ahly club & Egypt national football team.
He became notorious for his appearance with his national team in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, especially in the goalless draw against the Irish team, in which his teammates constantly passed the ball back to him as a deliberate time-wasting tactic, resulting in a dour, emotionless match.
He was also a member in the Egyptian Parliament, representing his city Tanta, in Gharbia Governorate for the term, starting 2005 and ending in 2010.
He was a member in the ruling National Democratic Party that eventually got dissolved following the 2011 Egyptian Revolution that toppled Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak.
[4] His youngest son, Mostafa Shobeir, is Al Ahly’s current goalkeeper.
