Amir Abdelhamid

Amir Abdelhamid Mohamed (Arabic: أمير عبد الحميد محمد) (born April 24, 1979) is an Egyptian footballer. He plays the goalkeeper position for the Egyptian club El-Entag El-Harby. He started his career in Al Ahly and became his first goalkeeper after Essam El-Hadary escaped to FC Sion on 21 February 2008. He proved excellence in the games he played. Thus, Egyptian commentators asks him to wait for his chance, as they see that he will be the Egyptian national goalkeeper. Amir was once considered the third goalkeeper for the national team.
