Zico's journey from seller to World Cup icon
The former Mustafa Abdul Rauf, known by the nickname "Zico," has become one of the stars of the 2026 World Cup after leading the Egyptian national team to a 3-1 victory over New Zealand, scoring and assisting in two goals during the match. His journey began by selling clothes after the death of his father at the age of fourteen, before earning a promotion from Haras El Hodood Club to the national team, with the support of his coach Hossam Hassan and his teammates. Zico is the first Egyptian player to score and assist in a single World Cup match, and he is poetically compared by the media to Brazil's Zico, as the Egyptian team strives to achieve a historic milestone in the tournament.
