Career
Club career
Swiss club FC Sion announced that they had signed El-Hadary on a four-year contract in February 2008, despite claims to the contrary from his club Al-Ahly.[2][3] El-Hadary was fined and suspended by Al-Ahly,[4] before world governing body FIFA stepped in to give permission for Sion to complete the deal.[5][6]
On 20 July 2009, it was announced that the Egyptian national team goalkeeper had joined Egyptian Premier League side Ismaily.[7]
On 1 July 2010, El Hadary signed for Zamalek SC, but he was later suspended for 4 months by FIFA for his earlier contract with FC Sion.[8]
In December 2010, he moved to Sudanese club Al-Merreikh.[9]
During the summer of 2011, Hadary received multiple offers from European clubs which made him express his wish to leave Merreikh. In August he went to try out for Hull City.[10] Al-Merreikh however did not let him go, having him signed for three years.[11] His representative Bryan Yeubrey has spoken of interest from other English clubs in El-Hadary.[12]
International career
El-Hadary represented Egypt 139 times, winning the African Cup of Nations four times with his country. He was chosen as the best goalkeeper in the 2006 African Cup of Nations, held in homeland Egypt and in the 2008 African Cup of Nations, held in Ghana and he was the best goalkeeper for the 2010 African Cup of Nations, held in Angola.[13]
In January 2013 his agent tweeted that El-Hadary had retired from international football after being benched for a run of games. He retires as the 23rd most capped international player in history and also the player with most African Cup of Nations titles. But he left his retirement and returned to play against Bosnia Herzegovina at March 5, 2014, winning 2-0.
