Emad Motaeb (Arabic: عماد متعب) (born 20 February 1983) is an Egyptian footballer (soccer player). He plays for the Egyptian club El-Ahly.

Motaeb scored in the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship 5th place playoff against Sydney F.C. in Tokyo, although Sydney won the match 2-1. It was Al Ahly's only goal of the tournament.

He capped for Egypt at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship, and scored a fascinating goal versus England. He appeared for First team at the 2006 African Nations Cup, scoring twice in the last group game against the Ivory Coast and one in the quarter final against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Some have commented that the combination with Mohamed Aboutrika and Mohamed Barakat formed the most formidable triangle in African Soccer, and they were given the moniker of "The Bermuda Triangle". The Angolan striker Flavio Amado replaces Barakat sometimes, playing a great role in forming this dangerous triangle. Emad is one of the best strikers of his age in Africa.


Was named the best striker in Africa in 2005 and second best in 2006.
