With the capability to play anywhere across the front line, Afif has earned his name by putting some phenomenal performances for his club and country. It is agreeable that the 22-year-old has struggled at Spain, but the performances he has put in at Asia is nothing short of fascinating.
He has represented all age groups for his nation. He was part of the AFC Under-19 Cup Qualification and 2018 Qualification Rounds, but they were not able to make it count at the biggest stage.
Qatar have never lifted this trophy, and he will be hoping to break the jinx when they take up the field against Lebanon during the first game week.
