Ismail Ahmed Ismail Mohammed (Arabic: إسماعيل أحمد إسماعيل محمد; born 7 July 1983), known by his patronymic Ismail Ahmed, is a former footballer who played as a centre-back. Born in Morocco, he represented the United Arab Emirates at international level.[2] [3] [4]
Ismail Ahmed was born in Temara, Morocco, but moved to Yemen and Bahrain as a teenager to venture for his football passion. He was persuaded to play for the Bahraini national team, but rejected the offer to return to Morocco in order to play for his country's national side and league giants Raja Casablanca so he could head to Europe, but an injury ruined his career while the likes of Nordin Amrabat, Ayoub El Kaabi and Achraf Bencharki flourished. He soon accepted the offer to join Al Ain from his former club, FUS de Rabat, where he was granted Emirati citizenship.[5] He retired in 2021.
