Abdul Razzaq Ibrahim, the star of the Emirates… the journey of the Gulf star that was ended by injuries

One of the most important Emirati football player who took the team to the 1990 World Cup in Italy, and he won the best player in the World Cup qualifiers. His goals (although rare) were not ordinary, and his passes were only a touch of a goal, but his bad luck prevented him from participating in the finals, due to the injuries he suffered, as a result of which he underwent surgery on both ankles.

He is the star Abdul Razzaq Ibrahim, who was born in 1967. He started his sports career early with the Al-Ahly Club in the early seventies, and the main reason was the club’s proximity to his home. Ibrahim’s star shone with Al-Ahly, until Prince Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud nicknamed him “The Masterpiece of the Gulf,” during the World Youth Cup qualifiers in Abu Dhabi 1985.

Abdul Razzaq Ibrahim won the title of best Emirati player for three years, and after 8 years with the first team of Al-Ahly club, he moved in a resounding deal worth 7 million dirhams to Al-Wahda in 1992, which was the most expensive deal for an Arab player in the nineties, but after that he returned to his parent club for a while. Shortly, then he moved to Al-Shaab, but remained on the reserve bench.

Zagallo said about him: The Emirates has none other than Abdul Razzaq Ibrahim.

His repeated injuries prevented him from participating in the 1990 World Cup and several editions of the Gulf Cup, as he suffered greatly from injuries in the period from 1993 to 1995, and he performed 4 Surgical operations, and, ironically, he was injured minutes after the start of the 1994 Gulf Cup. The injuries were a major reason for ending his football career early.
