Sherif Mohamed Abdel-Fadil (Arabic: شريف محمد عبد الفضيل; born 2 July 1983) is an Egyptian footballer.
Reports linked Abdel-Fadil with a move to Al Ahly following the 2007–08 season, but the move never materialized.
In Summer 2009, Al Ahly and his rival El Zamalek began a war to sign Ismaily's defender. El Zamalek was too close to sign Abdel-Fadil, but the defender failed to agree personal terms of his contract with the Cairo club.[2] Eventually, Al-Ahly have pulled a transfer surprise by snatching Ismaily's defender from under the noses of Zamalek. Abdel-Fadil penned a four-year contract with Al-Ahly on Friday 31 July. Al-Ahly agreed to pay EGP7.5 million in addition to the right-back, Ahmad Sedik, to complete the deal with Ismaily.[3]
Sherif was selected for the Egypt national football team preliminary squad which will defend their title in ACN 2008 in Ghana, but did not make the final squad.
