This is the story of how Amr Fahmy, a soccer fan working as administration for the CAF became the founder of Egypt's first-ever Ultras group, played an important role in bringing down a dictator during the Egyptian revolution, and inspired thousands in a campaign for justice for fallen comrades.
Before his premature death in 2020 he had risen to become Secretary General of the Confederation of African Football and uncovered corruption at the highest level.
It wasn’t until his death that the true scale of his achievements was revealed.
The script is written by James Montague and illustrated by Alice Devine.
Arabic subtitles available.

#CAF #AhmadAhmad #ultras - Sport
"He exposed all the corruption he saw, which ultimately cost him his job" Just shows everything that's wrong with football. Wow.
Such is life
Just shows everything that's wrong with *the world*. - There, I fixed it for you
@@thomaskendell8146 not only in football sadly
@@seemymobot4987 blame the far left
@@theletsplayer4921 how is it the far left’s fault 😭
As an egyptian I would like to thank tifo for their in depth coverage of Amr fahmy may he rest in peace and ultras and the political sitiuation not what I expect from any form of western media. Respect ( الله يرحمك يا عمرو)
I wonder how Amr campaign for CAF president was going up until he sadly passed away. Do you have any idea? Thanks!
@@fran1514Sadly It didn't go far as he passed away one year before the election which took place this month. He announced he's running for president late 2019 and in December 2019 he announced the slogan for his campaign "Pro Africa- pro Football- ANTI Corruption" . We didn't hear from him much after that turns out his condition got worse and he passed away February 2020.
An incredible man
He is a moden day hero of Egypt, my he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace. I as an American, who schools education was mostly scheduled around ancient Egypt, know about the Amr family. We learned that he was a very important figure in Egypt and even though he has not been with us in centuries, he is still important to us today.
Tifo has been upping their game recently. Between the Elton John Watford story and this one about Amr Fahmy, they have once again shown their ability to make compelling stories about the sport we all love.
🙏
dont ever stop Tifo
Amazing story, and told so well by Tifo’s narrator. Rest in Peace Amr Fahmy
agreed, i love how he can beautifully narrate such a powerful story and still be a massive bellend on a podcast haha
This long form storytelling style of video is brilliant
It is lovely when they break their traditional formula so they can tell the full story of an important subject .
You couldn't do this man justice in just 5 minutes .
felt like a documentary even tho it was less than 20 mins
I wonder how TIFO manages to bring such unique topics to us?
This is such a niche topic❤️
Uprooting corruption in FIFA should be a topic on all good fans lips
They also call football soocer
@@pekar43 Buuut they alliterated in the title well, so that should make everyone happy.
I guess because above all else they're damn good journalists, always so well-researched and articulately presented
@@eksortso he must've missed why they did it
I had the homour and pleasure to spend a day with Amr, in Marsille, when Napoli played C.L. in france. May Amr R.I.P.
I just got out of my Uber here in Australia.
My driver was from Egypt and he was telling me about Al Ahly and how much he loves and misses them.
I said 6-1 and he was so happy and surprised! Made his day.
Just wanted to say, thank you for posting these videos. They go a long way to everyone around the world.
I was never aware of this. It's so sad, he seemed like such a wonderful person and he fought to the bitter end. RIP Amr Fahmy.
I need a netflix 6 part docu series on this. Can't believe I haven't heard about any of this
Thank you for commemorating his memory!
Wow,
Being Egyptian, remembering all that happened and we had gone through and still almost cried through watching this video.
Thanks, tifo team and especially James Montegoue for this video.
Amr Fahmy was a massive character for youth like me in Egypt but sadly we cannot remember him or talk about him in the media right now. I am sure one day we will get it right for his soul and all the victims of our oppressive regime.
This is the epitome of what football really is, much much more than a game
Even as a privileged white boy the sport means so much more to me than just the game, I can’t even begin to understand what it is to people in much worse situations
A more than fitting tribute to a honorable man, charismatic leader and true friend. We will continue his fight and pursue his/our goals. R.I.P Amr
RIP AMR FAHMY. What a Nobel man, glad I watched this video had no idea about his plight.
I can understand English perfectly
However I'd like to thank you for adding arabic subtitles. Such an amazing gesture
The world should take note of this. Revolution in the face of fascism
Thank you for this wonderful video
Where's that "fascism" you talk about?
Like what ought to be happening in Hungary and Poland
@@ianbrudnakvoss3126 LOL
@Simon Goodwind good one, I assumed op was calling corruption on a large scale fascism, which is usually what people who use the term globalists say (which is almost always anti-Semitic). In any case, while I hate fascism (tbf Hungary and Poland are just nationalists rn but it’ll probably get worse), I will punch a commie just as quick. Our definitions of communist are clearly different tho
@Simon Goodwind I don’t really mean punch, I just mean I don’t like them at all. Extreme ideologies different from more central (if you can call them that) ideas because they always end up causing more suffering than otherwise. Extremists also like violence most of the time
And I thought I loved football - this man is everything you would proudly associate with the game. Truly the Ultra Fan of all Fans. RIP Amr Fahmy - thank you for all you did, your legacy truly will live on forever
Egypt needs to return to real football without dictatorship.
RIP Fahmy.
A very moving story. This was a great man. It also never fails to amaze how love of Football transcends sports, galvanizing all walks of life into a force that can even topple a corrupt government.
I'm an Emarati, but I grew up supporting Al Ahly of Egypt and following the African football so I can't thank you enough for shedding a light on this matter as it can help bringing such issues to the world's attention, I hope you cover more of the middle eastern football especially Al Ahly African club of the century and the most decorated team in the world after winning the treble and getting a bronze medal in the Clubs World Cup. Respect for Tifo, Red Star and Freiburg fans 🔴🙏
الله يرحمك يا عمرو.
This is one heck of a video, and some amazing research behind it! Well done lads!
I respect this man. I hadn't heard of him until now.
Really great piece guys. A great story about a great man!! ✊🏻
One of the most beautiful channels that weaves together such intricate aspects of football, journalism and the real world which affects and is affected by it. Without Tifo, we wouldn't be half as knowledgeable about football as we are now! Love from India
Incredible story, one of your best yet. RIP Amr Fahmy, and thanks and kudos to Tifo.
RIP to a lover of the most beautiful game and a defender of Justice and freedom
I kinda predicted it would be about Ultras Ahlawy from the title, didn't expect to see Amr Fahmy here though, that's a beautiful way to honor his memory a true football fan who did his best to protect football from corruption. The Arabic subtitles are amazing as well. Overall an astonishing video.
this guy"s life deserves a movie
One of the best Tifo's videos of all time. Thank you so much. RIP Amr Fahmy
Incredible video and story, thanks Tifo, and thank you Amr Fahmy for your incredible passion and justice for the beautiful game
Man this is an emotional and inspiring story. Fascinating content like this sets Tifo apart
Brilliantly told story. Would make a great full length documentary or film. This channel is brilliant
an absolutely stunning video. genuinely among the best tifo has ever released
This is such a powerful story and one that was completely new to me! I'm gonna have to show this to my friends who don't even follow soccer(football) because it's so inspiring.
Thank you so much Tifo. Thank you for honoring Amr. Thank you for being a professional, unbiased, and fair. Thank you from Egypt.
This was truly a beautiful story. Thank you Tifo
I did not know anything of this. Thank you Tifo for telling this story! And Rest in Peace Amr Fahmy!
Wow, this was amazing🙌 ! Thank you ❤️️. May his legacy live on and inspire others to follow in his footsteps 🙏.
I never knew you, Amr, but thank you and may you rest in peace 🙏
This video tells such a great story, this really moved me. Thanks tifo.
I've neen watching newer videos from Tifo, till i discovered this older gem, now I'm gonna start watching theeir videos from the beginning.Amazing.
This should 100% be a movie
Exactly it shows football is more than a game
Amazing Legacy, this is the first time I've heard of Amr Fahmy. But his story is full of inspiration.
I follow football from all across the globe, and I never even got a sniff of this story. Thank you Tifo, for sharing such a wonderful story. Rest in peace, Amr and the 74.
Exceptional piece. A documentary needs to be put together. Great work Tifo.
Great video, amazing story that deserves to be told and honoured. Thanks Tifo
This was mindblowingly superb! What a story! And great watch! Exclamation mark!
This is possibly the best one yet....this was absolutely fantastic for so so many reasons. Cheers to more of this nature...if possible.
This was one of the best and most well-written stories in TIFO 🥺❤ well done 🍻
Thankyou for the amazing work, been here with you guys from the start and your quality has never dipped, only getting better
Well done tefo , Thank you for telling our story and Amr fahmy's story
Really grateful to the TIFO team for all the football content
This is a remarkable video. A step above other channels
Amazing work again tifo!!! Thankyou for telling this story
This kind of content only comes from Tifo, absolutely love it. This is why i subscribed years ago
Your videos are so extensively researched and well presented. A big thank you for coming up with such unique and little known topics.
How did I not know this story. Thank you Tifo for telling this story.
Rest In Power, Amr Fahmy!
More videos like this please. Personally, I am fascinated by the overlap between football and politics and would love to see more content on how football can, and has, served as a form of resistance.
Videos like this are needed to make people aware of this hero´s which are not getting the attention of the main media they deserve.
The only thing we can do is give this video every kind of feedback like a thumbs up, to put it it out there and give Amr Fahmy the respect he deserves.
Rest in peace Hero Amr Fathy!
Loved the way this was narrated. You had me gripped to the very end.
This is by far the best video I've seen on your channel. Great work.
Great content. I have become a fan of this type of rare reporting which is a relief for many of us. Thanks
I'm speechless and brought down to tears remembering this glorious days and their sad outcomes, from the beginning of UA07 to the revolution and Portsaid massacre and the log batlle for JF74, up to his final days fighting within the establishment.
R.I.P AMR, your legend will live on❤️❤️
Thanks TIFO ❤️❤️
Thanks for this. I feel shame for not knowing about this GREAT person. Integrity, drive and passion. What a wonderful life and what a remarkable person.
Thanks Tifo... i would love to see a similar type of video on Manchester United's first participation in the European Cup up to the end of the 57/58 season - the attitude of the FA before and after the Munich crash is a good example of English FA arrogance and insularity, and the defiance and flair of the Busby Babes is THE reason why Man Utd are still far more popular in Europe than any other british club.
A video on the Jimmy Hogan football tree would also be a corker!
Amazing! This is football journalism at it´s best: humane, universal and profound. Cheers, keep it up!
The kind of amazing story, in a niche area, that Tifo was designed to report on. Fantastic work by all!
Good work, much appreciated
RIP Amr Fahmy
on behalf of all Egyptian Ultras groups I thank you so much for this huge coverage from a wide perspective, thank you so much Tifo for this great content
A story told in one of the best books I've read - When Friday Comes: Football, War and Revolution in the Middle East.
Great narration, great book 👍🏼
What an interesting and impactful story. Amr Fahmy is now one of my heroes and will find out more and continue to honor his commitment, his work, and his values. Thank you f or sharing and please, keep making such powerful content. -AfroChilnagringo aka the Ivoluionary!
Say with me : "football is more than a game"
Football governing bodies need more people like Amr Fahmy. We need more moral absolutism in football.
What a story! Absolutely incredible and such a brave & deeply virtuous man.
This is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic wortk Tifo and James Montague. Greetings from Egypt.
I love you guys! Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you, Tifo!
This is top tier content you provide us here!
What a fantastic story. What a man. Rest in Peace. A true football hero.
I absolutely love the stories Tifo football brings, and Amr Fahmy's story here is a perfect example. Would love to know if there are any job opportunities to work in Tifo Football?
WOOWWW .... JUST WOOW . You guys are AMAZING !! Keep up the good work
This is an absolutely brilliant video. The game we love at its finest. So sad that there's so much dirt in our world today and that it finds a way to poison football too. A tragic yet heart warming story... Rest in Peace Amr Fahmy
Wow. Truly amazing story. RIP and thank you.
I almost cried. Thank you Tifo for honoring this man. RIP Amr Fahmy
Amazing man. Amazing legacy. Rest in peace Amr Fahmy. We won't forget you.
These geopolitical mini documentaries on football are amazing, thank you so much for your work on these and making them available for everyone to become more knowledgeable on lesser known issues 💪
Thank you very much for this great video! Had no idea that this has been happening and it is truly sad to learn about such a tragic end to a good man.
Great work in educating us footballing world, thank you for this!
Such a powerful film. Thanks Tifo
The narrator of this episode is a beast.... The words he uses are so good... The best part is his intonation.... This piece along with all the other pieces are so touching... Thanks TIFO
Amazing topic 👏
Thanks for covering this Tifo ♥️
May Allah grant you paradise Amr fahmy. الله يرحمك يا عمرو
Amazing video, thank you for shedding light on a great and important story.
You guys should do a video on Rui Pinto as well, the creator of football leaks.
What a story and , thank you Tifo for giving it some attention.
Wow, that was fantastic. Thank you Tifo!
I think this one deserves a movie, such an interesting story
This is a genuinely fascinating video - top notch journalism guys.

Rip (Omar fahmy )
