Qatar Football Association
Shortly after, the Qatar Football Association released an article in response to the SFA's allegations. The article stated that "Magid Mohamed Imam Salima was born in Khartoum, Sudan on August 17, 1985. " In contradiction to this statement indicating his age; his profile on the official QFA website, in addition to his passport, showed Magid's date of birth as October 1, 1985. To further add to the confusion, his name is most widely recognized as Magid Mohamed Hassan, as opposed to the former.
