Bio
He started playing soccer when he was 6 years old in his school, he was discovered then by his sports teacher who was working as goalkeepers coach in Al Wehda club, one of main Abu Dhabi main clubs, and asked Mohamed older brother (who was a goalkeeper in Al Wehda) to bring Mohamed with him to the training.
He started playing as a goalkeeper for 3 months “but I was so sad because I wanted to be a (player) not a (goalkeeper)”
Abdurrahman Jamal - One of club coaches – found the sad boy and asked him about the reason behind his sadness, and after discovering out Mohamed’s dream, he gave him a player’s dress and asked him to start training as an attacker.
