Ali Mohsen Al-Moraisi (Arabic: علي محسن المريسي; 1940 – 1993) was a Yemeni professional footballer who played as a forward. He was the first Yemeni player to play in the Egyptian League, with Zamalek in the 1960s. Mohsen was also the first foreigner to ever finish as top-scorer of the Egyptian League.[1]
Career[edit]
Mohsen once scored against Real Madrid in 1961, in a 7–1 defeat, while playing for an Egyptian select side with several players from Zamalek, Al Ahly and Al Masry.[2]
After retiring from his playing career, he coached Somalia in 1973, and Al-Satra in Southern Yemen, before moving to Johar Al-Rab.[citation needed] The national stadium in Sana'a is named after the player.[citation needed] He was appointed councilor for Minister of Youth and Sports until his death in 1994.[citation needed] The Ali Mohsen Al-Moraisi Tournament has been played annually in his honour since 1992, in cooperation with Aden Football Association.[citation needed]
