Egyptian handball star Ahmed Hesham, widely known as "Dodo," has enjoyed two special celebrations within just a few days.

The Veszprém player celebrated his engagement to Tamara Nader El Sayed, a member of Al Ahly's women's basketball team, shortly after winning the IHF Men's Club World Championship with the Hungarian club.

The engagement added another happy moment to an already memorable week for the Egyptian international, who had just celebrated an important world title before sharing news of his personal milestone with his followers.

Engagement Celebration

Ahmed Hesham Dodo shared the first photos from his engagement celebration on his social media accounts.

He accompanied the pictures with a short message expressing his happiness, describing the occasion as a victory that could not be compared with any other achievement.
