Treika to captain Egypt in London
Omar AbdelAziz Published in FilGoal on 15 - 07 - 2012

Mohamed Abou-Treika will captain Egypt at the 2012 Olympic Games as he chose the number 5 shirt after his footballing hero Zinedine Zidane.
The Ahli veteran was named in Egypt squad as one of three senior players for this month's London Games, along with club mates Ahmed Fathi and Emad Meteb.
As the Olympic team prepare for the big event in Europe, coach Hany Ramzy confirmed on Saturday that Abou-Treika will captain the Pharaohs.
“Abou-Treika will be the team captain when he is on the pitch. Meteb will be vice-captain and then Fathi," former Ahli and Egypt defender Ramzy told Modern Kora TV.
“I am happy that the trio blended in no time with the team on and off the pitch. I personally didn't expect that to happen so fast."
The FA said that Abou-Treika - who is usually renowned for his legendary number.22 shirt with Ahli - will be wearing number 5, resembling Real Madrid and France legend Zidane.
Meteb chose number 10 and Fathi will be number 7.
Egypt open their Olympic campaign with a crunch encounter against a star-studded Brazil side before taking on New Zealand and Belarus.
