Egyptian defender Omar Fayed made an appearance for Frosinone as his side secured an entertaining 4-2 victory over Sassuolo in the Italian Serie A on Friday, October 16, 2026.
Fayed came on as a substitute in the 74th minute, contributing to his team’s efforts as Frosinone claimed three valuable points in their domestic campaign.

Fayed’s First Season in Italian Football
