Ahmed Abdelaziz Shobeir (Arabic: أحمد عبد العزيز شوبير; born 28 September 1960) is former Egyptian goalkeeper who played for Al Ahly club & Egypt national football team. He is a former vice-president of the Egyptian Football Association, and a previous official of Egyptian national Olympic team. He became notorious for his appearance with his national team in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, especially in the goalless draw against the Irish team, in which his teammates constantly passed the ball back to him as a deliberate time-wasting tactic, resulting in a dour, emotionless match.
