Saleh Abdulhameed Saleh Mohamed Mahmeedi (Arabic: صالح عبد الحميد صالح محمد محميدي; born 4 August 1982) is a Bahraini professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Bahraini club Busaiteen Club. He made 31 appearances for the Bahrain national team.[2]

Club career

In the 2005–06 season, Abdelhameed played for Al-Najma.[3] In September 2007, Abdulhameed moved to Kuwaiti club Al-Nasr on loan from Al-Najma.[4] In January 2009, Al-Najma sent him on loan to Al-Raed in Saudi Arabia; Abdulhameed became the first player from Bahrain to play in the Saudi Professional League.[5]

Abdulhameed joined Al-Muharraq in the 2011–12 season, helping them win the 2012 GCC Champions League, Al-Muharraq's first title.[6] He stayed until the 2018–19 season.[7]

Having returned to Busaiteen in the 2019–20 season,[8] Abdulhameed renewed his contract with the team in November 2020, for a further year.[9] His contract was renewed for an additional season once again in mid-2021.[10]

International career

Abdulhameed was due to be called up to the Bahrain national team in 2009, ahead of the 19th Arabian Gulf Cup; however, coach Milan Máčala excluded him from the final list as he was busy with club duty with Al-Nasr that season.[5]

Abdulhameed was included in the 23-man Bahrain roster at the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.[11] He also participated in the 2011 Pan Arab Games, helping Bahrain win their first competition.[12]

Abdulhameed was regarded as a promising defender in his youth.[5]
