Mohamed Al-Fayed, the self-made Egyptian businessman who was once the owner of the iconic Harrods department store in London, has passed away at the age of 94. The news came from the football club he previously owned, Fulham Football Club.
Al-Fayed’s life was forever changed 26 years ago when his son, Dodi Fayed, tragically lost his life in a car crash in Paris along with Princess Diana. The heartbreaking incident had a profound impact on Al-Fayed, and he spent the remainder of his life in mourning.
In a statement on Fulham Football Club’s website, Shahid Khan, Al-Fayed’s successor as owner, expressed his condolences to the family and friends of Mohamed Al-Fayed. Khan also highlighted the significant legacy that Al-Fayed leaves behind for the club.
“I join our supporters around the world in celebrating the memory of Mohamed Al-Fayed, whose legacy will always be at the heart of our tradition at Fulham Football Club,” Khan said.
The passing of Mohamed Al-Fayed marks the end of an era for both Harrods and Fulham Football Club. His entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to his businesses will not be forgotten, leaving a lasting imprint on the world of retail and sports.
May he rest in peace.
