''' Tarek El Sayed ''' ({{langx|ar|طارق السيد}}; born 9 October 1978) is a retired [[Egypt]]ian [[association football|football]] player who played for [[El Zamalek]] for most of his football career. He also played for [[Itesalat]], and he played for [[Tersana]] in the [[Egyptian Second Division]] and retired after one season.

El Sayed made several appearances for the [[Egypt national football team]], including nine qualifying matches for various [[FIFA World Cup]]s.<ref>{{FIFA player|176956|Tarek El Sayed}}</ref>

==Career==

===Zamalek===
El Sayed played with [[El Zamalek]] for 13 seasons during which he dominated the left wing position. At the end of 2007-2008 season and after winning the [[Egypt]]ian cup, [[El Zamalek]] did not include either Tarek or his teammate [[Besheer El-Tabei]] in the new season's team roster, and so both were free agents.

===Itesalat===
Shocked to be abandoned by his former team, he moved to [[Itesalat]]. He stayed at Itesalat for only half a season and scored 2 goals.<ref name="08-09 Scorers">[https://www.angelfire.com/ak/EgyptianSports/Scorers2008.html Egyptian League Scorers 2008-09] www.egyptianfootball.net, retrieved 3 April 2010</ref>

===Tersana===
In January 2009, El Sayed agreed to move to [[Tersana]] to help the team avoid relegation to the second division. El Sayed scored 2 goals<ref name="08-09 Scorers" /> for Tersana by the end of that season, but the club was eventually relegated. El Sayed announced that he would transfer to another team; however, when his transfer to either [[El Geish]] or [[El-Entag El-Harby]] did not materialize, he decided to retire.

In 2009, Tersana manager [[Yehia El Sayed]] convinced Tarek El Sayed to return to football and to lead Tersana in the [[Egyptian Second Division]].
