Abd El-Karim Sakr (Arabic: عبد الكريم صقر‎) (born 8 November 1918 – 6 March 1994) was an Egyptian football forward who played for Egypt & Farouk (Zamalek SC now).[2]

International career

He represented Egypt in the 1936 Summer Olympics, scoring Egypt's only goal in the tournament. This goal was scored on 5 August 1936, when he was just 15 years and 113 days old. This made him the youngest international goalscorer ever, a record which stood until the year 2000.[3] He also represented his country in the 1948 Summer Olympics.
