CAIRO - The thought of playing soccer as a professional had remained a distant dream for Ezzeldin Bahader for decades - until, at the age of 75, he registered with the Egyptian Football Association as its oldest player yet.
Bahader, father of four and grandfather of six, started playing football in the streets of Cairo at the age of six. For 15 years, he lived in Kuwait, and he now lives in Rehab city, a gated community in the New Cairo suburb. A representative of Guinness World Records will attend the second match to assess his claim, Bahader said.
