Imam Ashour, a player for the Egyptian national team, took the opportunity to meet with Palestinian Wisam Abu Ali, former striker for Al Ahly, during the friendly match between Egypt and Brazil.

The game took place at Huntington Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, as part of the final preparations ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Ashour shared a photo of himself with his former teammate on social media, captioning it with the word “brother,” highlighting the strong bond they have maintained since their time together at Al Ahly, prior to Abu Ali’s move to pursue a professional career in the United States.
