Saleh Abdulhameed

Club career In the 2005–06 season, Abdelhameed played for Al-Najma. In September 2007, Abdulhameed moved to Kuwaiti club Al-Nasr on loan from Al-Najma. 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.

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

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

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. He also participated in the 2011 Pan Arab Games, helping Bahrain win their first competition.

Style of play Abdulhameed was regarded as a promising defender in his youth.
