Mohamed Salah has asked questions of UEFA after the European governing body paid tribute to a footballer known as the 'Palestinian Pele' following his death.

Suleiman al-Obeid was killed in an Israeli attack in southern Gaza, according to the Palestine Football Association (PFA).

Obeid was killed on Wednesday after civilians waiting for humanitarian aid were attacked by Israeli forces say the PFA.



The 41-year-old was labelled one 'of the brightest stars of Palestinian football' and famously scored a scissor-kick versus Yemen during the 2010 West Asian Football Federation championship.

The footballer is survived by his wife and children and his family have seen tributes pour in amid the conflict in Gaza.

UEFA sent their own condolences.

"Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'," the body posted on soocial media.

The Egyptian quoted UEFA's tribute and quickly highlighted the issues he found with their post.

At least 662 athletes and their relatives are reported to have been killed during Israeli assaults.

“The number of footballers killed or who died from starvation has reached 421, including 103 children,” the PFA said.
