Magid Mohamed (

Arabic: ماجد محمد; born 1 October 1985) is a footballer who plays as a midfielder for Al-Shamal.^[3] Born in Sudan, he represented the Qatar national team

.

Identity controversy

In 2007, the

2008 Summer Olympics, which Qatar had won.^[5] The rules of FIFA

state that any player over the age of 23 cannot participate in the competition, whereas Magid was believed to be 25 at the time.

Shortly after, the Qatar Football Association released an article in response to the SFA's allegations. The article stated that Magid Mohamed Imam Salima was born in Khartoum, Sudan on August 17, 1985. ^[1] In contradiction to this statement indicating his age; his profile on the official QFA website, in addition to his passport, showed Magid's date of birth as October 1, 1985. To further add to the confusion, his name is most widely recognized as Magid Mohamed Hassan, as opposed to the former.^[6]

He was eventually cleared to play, and took part in the Olympic team's next match against Saudi Arabia, scoring Qatar's only goal of the match.
