Mohamed Abou Gabal Joins Moghreb Tetouan
Mohamed Abou Gabal has landed in Morocco, and with that, his move to Moghreb Tetouan is almost over the line.
The Egyptian international goalkeeper, one of the more seasoned names in African football, arrived after reaching a final agreement with the Moghreb Tetouan board over a summer switch, according to Moroccan outlet “Botola”. What remains now are details: paperwork, signatures, and a medical.
Tetouan’s new No.1 in waiting
Moghreb Tetouan have gone for experience. They want authority in goal, a voice at the back, and someone who has seen pressure before. Abou Gabal ticks every box.
The club are preparing for the new campaign and the grind of the professional league, and they see the 35-year-old’s presence as a decisive upgrade between the posts. They are counting on his know-how, his big-game temperament, and the calm he brings to a back line.
The first hurdle is routine but non-negotiable. In the coming days, Abou Gabal will undergo his medical tests to prove his fitness. Once the doctors give the green light, the administrative machinery takes over: contracts finalized, documents processed, registration completed.
Then comes the moment both sides are waiting for. As soon as the medical is cleared and the paperwork is signed off, Abou Gabal will put pen to paper with Moghreb Tetouan, and the club will officially announce his arrival during the current summer transfer window.
A new chapter away from home
For Abou Gabal, this move marks a clear break from familiar territory. After years guarding nets in Egypt and building his reputation with the Egypt national team, he now steps into the Moroccan league and a new football culture.
He has represented several clubs back home, steadily carving out a career that earned him international recognition. Now he carries that résumé to Tetouan, where expectation will be immediate and unforgiving.
The plane has landed. The deal is almost done. The next time Abou Gabal walks out, it may well be in Moghreb Tetouan colours, starting a fresh fight for points on Moroccan soil.
