CR Belouizdad received a visit from their former playmaker, Amir Sayoud. This visit, while not part of a recruitment effort, has sparked excitement and nostalgia among fans and players alike.
On Wednesday, Sayoud, currently with Saudi club Al-Raed, made a courtesy visit to his old teammates during a training session at the Salem Mebrouki de Rouiba facility.
The Guelma native, dressed in a traditional kamis, took time to reconnect with the squad, even posing for a memorable photo to mark the occasion.
In a statement on the CR Belouizdad website, Sayoud expressed his enduring bond with the team. “I always keep in touch with my former comrades and follow the Algerian championship closely,” he said.
His words and presence brought a wave of enthusiasm to the training ground, reflecting the strong camaraderie that remains between him and the team.
This visit comes just 48 hours before the highly anticipated Algerian derby between CR Belouizdad and MC Alger, set for Friday at the Nelson Mandela Stadium.
Although Sayoud, who also had a stint with MC Alger, will not be able to attend the match due to it being held behind closed doors, his visit has undoubtedly boosted the morale of the CR Belouizdad squad.
While the summer transfer window in Algeria has yet to open, and despite ongoing speculation about potential signings, Sayoud’s visit was purely personal.
However, many in the Lâaqiba camp are hopeful that the club’s leaders are working to bring the talented playmaker back for the next season.
As CR Belouizdad prepares for the crucial derby against their city rivals, the unexpected reunion with Sayoud has added a unique layer of excitement and motivation.
Fans and players alike look forward to seeing how this emotional boost will translate on the pitch.
