Jameel Al-Yahmadi

Jameel Saleem Jameel Al-Yahmadi (جميل سليم جميل اليحمدي; born 27 July 1996) is an Omani professional footballer who plays for Al-Kharaitiyat and the Oman national team as a midfielder or forward.

Club career
Al-Yahmadi began his career with Al-Shabab, before moving to Al-Wakra in the Qatari Second Division in 2018. He tore his ACL in 2019 which ruled him out of much of the 2019-20 season and led Al-Wakra to look for transfer options. He then moved to Al-Shahaniya, who hoped he could help them escape relegation.

In 2020, he signed with Al-Markhiya. In 2021, the team finished as runners-up in the Qatar FA Cup, a post-season tournament without the top clubs. Al-Markhiya won the Qatari Second Division in 2021/22 and were promoted to the Qatar Stars League. Al-Yahmadi renewed his contract with Al-Markhiya in July 2022, which then expired in summer 2023.

International career
Al-Yahmadi made his debut for the Oman national football team in a friendly match on 24 March 2016 against Guam. He was included in Oman's squad for the 2017 CISM World Football Cup in Oman, the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship in China and the 2019 AFC Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

Al-Yahmedi started all five matches during the 23rd Arabian Gulf Cup which Oman won after defeating UAE in the final. He has continued to play in tournaments and qualifying for Oman, including 2022 World Cup qualification, the 2021 Arab Cup, and the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup in which Oman finished second.

Style of play
Al-Yahmadi is a left-footed player who often performs as an inverted right-winger, cutting inside from the flank. He has a low center of gravity which allows him to change directions quickly. Oman often uses Al-Yahmedi on the counterattack, especially due to his speed.
