Adel Massaad, born on June 24, 1964, in Moers, is a professional table tennis player and runs the Institute for Health Education (IFGA) that he founded. The German-Egyptian son of a doctor hails from Geldern in the Lower Rhine region. Massaad left high school in Geldern without a diploma and became a table tennis professional. Originally brought in for the lower doubles (6-player teams), he soon surprised the Bundesliga and became a strong player in the middle doubles. His trademark was performing backflips after his victories. In 1985, he transferred from the club TuS Rheinberg to TTC Jülich, and in 1988 to FTG Frankfurt. A year later, he returned to Jülich, which he left again in 1995 for PSV Telekom Mülheim. In 1989, Massaad participated in the ranking tournament.
