Mahmoud Abdel Razek Fadlallah (Egyptian Arabic: محمود عبد الرازق "شيكابالا" IPA: [mæħˈmuːd ʕæbdelˈɾæːzeʔ, -eɾˈɾæː- fɑdˈlɑllɑ]; born 5 March 1986), commonly known as Shikabala (IPA: [ʃikæˈbæːlæ]) is an Egyptian footballer who currently plays for Egyptian clubZamalek SC. Growing through the youth ranks of Zamalek, he served the Egyptian club for many years and is considered to be one of the greatest players to play for the club. He previously had a two-year stint with PAOK. He predominantly plays as a right-winger but can play as a central attacking midfielder and as a left winger.
Shikabala made his debut for Zamalek in a cup match early in 2002, and scored the winning goal aged only 16. He remained with the first team squad since then but had very limited playing time and no professional contract, which is why he was able to leave Zamalek and join PAOK in January 2005 for no transfer fee. He enjoyed two relatively successful seasons with PAOK before returning to Zamalek due to rude actions with coach.
Shikabala returned to Egypt in January 2007 amidst huge controversy where he signed for arch rivals Al Ahly before chairman Mamdouh Abbas and team-mate Gamal Hamza convinced him to return to Zamalek instead. Shikabala enjoyed a phenomenal start with Zamalek scoring once again on his second debut for the club the winner in a 1-0 match. Shika quickly carved a place for himself in Henri Michel's starting line-up gradually replacing club legend and fans' idol Hazem Emam. On 2 July 2007, Shikabala scored his first goal in the derby against Al Ahly in the cup final which ended 4-3 for Al Ahly.
