Mohamed Magdy Afsha, Al Ahly’s midfield star, delivered an emotional and heartfelt message to his teammate and team captain, Amr El-Sulaya, following the latter’s official announcement of his departure from the Red Castle after a long, achievement-filled journey.

Afsha posted a series of photos on his official Instagram account showing him with El-Sulaya during matches, training sessions, and celebrations, and captioned them with:
“Abu Leila isn’t just an ordinary player… he’s a true captain who makes a difference on the field. Seven years beside you—we won everything together, claimed 19 titles, and shared unforgettable moments. From the rabona passes to the perfectly timed long balls, you were always a central pillar of the team. I’ll miss you deeply, and I love you so much, Captain.”
