I haven't seen this one in ages but I thought I'd leave a comment to perhaps assist people who know this as "Captain Majid" in finding this page through Google or whatever.
This series wasn't the greatest in the world because let's be frank the animation is a bit rubbish and ultimately it's just a sports show for kids featuring characters with football 'superpowers', but to many (most?) Arab kids it was a very important and special show, and one that three or four generations have grown up on. That sort of influence and love is definitely remarkable.
Cheers.
