Player Info

Mohamed Abou Gabal, commonly known as "Gabaski," is an Egyptian goalkeeper whose name became etched in national folklore following his heroic performances at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. Born on January 29, 1989, the 37-year-old stands as an imposing figure at 196 cm tall. His club career has seen him represent several Egyptian sides, including Ismaily, Zamalek, and currently Modern Sport FC, where he provides veteran leadership. However, it was on the international stage where he achieved immortality. Thrust into action during the AFCON knockout stages after an injury to the first-choice keeper, Gabaski produced a series of stunning saves, particularly in penalty shootouts against Ivory Coast and Cameroon, leading Egypt to the final. His shootout heroics earned him widespread acclaim and the nickname "The Savior." While his club honors include domestic cups, his individual moment in the sun was being a central figure in Egypt's memorable AFCON run. A goalkeeper of immense presence and clutch mentality, Gabaski's legacy is secure as a national team hero.
