Ali Mohsen

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.

Mohsen played for Zamalek from 1958 to 1966, he won with the Cairo giants, the Egyptian Premier League in (1959–60, 1963–64, 1964–65), and the Egypt Cup in (1958, 1959, 1960, 1962). While with Zamalek, 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.

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]
