Omar spent a trial period with Real Betis from 14 July 2023 to 11 August 2023. The young forward was 17 at the time of his trial with the Real Betis (B) team.[3]
His performances during the trial period seemed to impress the Spanish club, to the point where they placed a bid to sign him from Al Ahly in September 2023. However, he tore his ACL,[4][5] putting the deal on hold.
In October 2024, negotiations resumed between Al Ahly management and Real Betis management.[6] On 16 October 2024, the deal was announced through the player's agent.[7]
Omar Sayed Moawad is set to become the second Egyptian at Real Betis after Amro Tarek,[8] who briefly played for the club. He will also be the third Egyptian in La Liga, following Mido’s stint at Celta Vigo.[9][10]
Omar is primarily a right winger but can line up anywhere across the front line. He's shown the capability to perform as a playmaker and False Nine while also being able to line up on the left wing.[11]
Omar is the son of former Egyptian national team left-back Sayed Moawad,[12] and the grandson of the Egyptian coach Ramadan El Sayed.[13]
