What a shame.
He did not just travel to the Nations Cup.
He was in Canada for the U20 World cup in 2007.

I met this man in WYC 2005 (Holland) in person while he was supporting Nigeria with his famous guitar and took pics with him as well. It was the final match versus Argentina and the man was outside the Utrecht stadium blasting away his tunes (singing Naijas praises) while Oyibos looked on. Then comes in the Chairman of the Naija Supporters Club; he was selling the tickets meant for the Naija supporters for 50 Euros
The fans outside protested but later bought them but everyone insisted that Ali must go in as a Naija supporter with free ticket and the clueless chairman had to cave in. We all cheered him on as he got the ticket and walked into the stadium.
May his soul RIP.

This is sad news. I have a video of him in Paris. Ali Siba3i is an engineer. He came to the USA on a visa to see the World Cup in 1994 and he stayed. He became a taxi driver and had other jobs and made some good money and left. The video I have shows him in the streets of Paris entertaining some Gulf Arabs of whose patronage he enjoyed.
Yes he is from Egypt and he is an Engineer and he was always given free tickets to the FIFA games by the FIFA brass who saw him as an ambassador.

Re: What happened to that Arab Guy with his Guitar????
The image of him in the stands with his guitar regardless of which African nation is playing was priceless and missed already. He deserves a moment of silence in one of Egypt's games in Angola but they will have to push for it.

He shared his story ... after 1994 he stayed and he became a US citizen ... he tired of life in the US and returned to Egypt ... the video I have is unique, first hand footage of him wandering through Paris entertaining throngs of Parisian Arab youths and the elite.

May his soul rest in perfect peace. I met him some year ago at Giants Stadium. A great guy and a wonderful person to meet.

Re: What happened to that Arab Guy with his Guitar????
GT and others, could you share those footages and pictures here to honour the man and pay tribute.
Also I'm quite curious wether he really played on this guitar cause it looks like as if he did not really play on it...but I know better now.

Re: What happened to that Arab Guy with his Guitar????

Any thoughts of nations cup fans always have this guy's face in the back of my mind.

You have no nationality or tribe, you are not a fan of Arsenal, Barca, Inter Milan, Manchester United etc. You won't see a booty or huge boobs if they walk pass you. Money is like tissue to you. what is your opinion? "

Re: What happened to that Arab Guy with his Guitar????
Great Idea I hope some picks up on honoring one of the greatest fans Africa has ever seen. Wonderful man I met him for the first time in the beginning of the decade, a true supporter of African football no matter what nation was playing.General Trousers wrote:The World Cup is in Africa and we are missing Ali Sibai ...
