Youssef El-Sedik is one of the most prominent leaders of the July 23, 1952 Revolution in Egypt, having played a decisive role in its success through his leadership of the military forces and his control of the army command just before the zero hour. He was born on January 3, 1910, in the village of Zawiya Al-Maslob in Beni Suef Governorate. He graduated from the Military Academy in 1933 and participated in the Palestine War of 1948. He rose to become a member of the Free Officers Organization in 1951. Despite his prominent military role, Youssef El-Sedik also called for democratic life and the reinstatement of the parliament, which led to his arrest by the military authorities before being released in 1955. In 2018, President Sisi issued a decree awarding him the Nile Necklace, in recognition of his national stature and pivotal role in the July Revolution.
