Infused with football talent from a very tender age, Fahad Al Muwallad was approached by an FC Barcelona scout after a series of good performances, but he rejected the offer and joined Al Ittihad's youth team, a club for which he had played ever since.

He is remembered for scoring their goal which helped Saudi Arabia earn a Works Cup berth in Russia.

Summoned for the 2018 FIFA World Cup due to his consistent performances, Muwallad disappointed in Russia earlier this year.

The AFC Asian Cup will be a great opportunity to re-establish himself once again. He has played over 50 matches for the national side and struck on 11 occasions.

With a pretty formidable bunch of players at their disposal, Saudi Arabia will be going to heal the wounds of a disastrous World Cup Champion aside and aim for a successful Asian Cup title.

The three-time champions will be eyeing to bring back three corrected trophy home after a gap of 22 years!
