Ayman Mohamed Abdelaziz (Arabic: أيمن محمد عبدالعزيز; born 20 November 1978 in Sharqia, Egypt) is an Egyptian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Misr El Makasa[1] in Egypt. He had been out of Egypt for a very long time, after playing most of his career in Turkey.

He has Turkish citizenship after long time spent in Turkey[2] with the name Ayman Aziz.[3]

Balili incident

On August 12, 2007 Ayman viciously tackled Sivasspor's Israeli striker Pini Balili.[4] Allegedly, Ayman swore at Balili in Arabic before the tackle and it caused the Sivasspor players to fight with the Trabzonspor players. A spectator then jumped onto the pitch and threw punches.[5] Sivasspor players responded and after that Trabzonspor supporters raided the pitch and the match was stopped.[6][7]
