Omar Abdulrahman
Omar Abdulrahman Ahmed Al Raaki Al Amoudi (Arabic: عُمَر عَبْد الرَّحْمٰن أَحْمَد الرَّاقِي الْعَمُودِيّ; born 20 September 1991) is a former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or a winger. Born in Saudi Arabia, he represented the United Arab Emirates at international levels.
Coming through the youth system, Abdulrahman made his senior debut for Al Ain in the 2008–09 season. In his first season, he won the Etisalat Cup, President's Cup and Super Cup. Despite suffering a cruciate ligament injury in the following season which sidelined him for over six months, he became a first team regular and helped his club to avoid relegation in the 2010–11 season. He finished the season with 11 goals in 29 appearances, and was voted the most promising player of the year. In the 2011–12 season, Abdulrahman suffered the same injury again and was out for six months, he returned from the injury to see his club crowned champions of the league. After a two-week trial with Manchester City, he returned to Al Ain to become a key player in the 2012–13 season and was voted Emirati Player of the Year, as his side achieved the 2012 Super Cup and league title.
ESPN FC ranked Abdulrahman first in the Top ten Asian players of 2012. In 2013, Abdulrahman was listed by FIFA in the most promising future stars in Asia. Abdulrahman was ranked thirty-nine on the Goal 50 list for the best 50 players of the 2012–13 season.
Omar Abdulrahman was born in Riyadh, growing up there in a working-class environment. His father Abdulrahman Ahmed was a former player, he has two older sisters and three older brothers, Ahmad, Khaled and Mohammed. He is from the Al-Amoudi family, a Hadhrami Mashaikh family descending from 13th century Sufi saint, Sa'eed ibn Isa Al-Amoudi. He spent sometimes playing soccer in Riyadh neighborhoods.
He drew attention from scout Abdulrahman Eissa who saw him by chance at Al Malaz yard near Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium and asked about the club that he played for. The answer was that he was not playing for any club and also did not hold Saudi nationality. After Abdulrahman Eissa began to contact him and his brother, he then began participating in tournaments and courses alongside Yahya Al-Shehri.
In 2000, he went on a trial with Al Hilal who were interested in signing him. However, as full Saudi nationality was only offered to him and not his entire family, his father rejected the offer.
Then a call came to Abdulrahman Eissa's friend Ahmed Al Garoon from Honorary member of Al Ain, Nasser bin Thaloub who was searching for young talented players. Abdulrahman Eissa told him about Abdulrahman's talent and his brothers Mohammed and Khalid. He asked for their passports and they joined the external Al Ain camp in Germany. Al Ain agreed to grant citizenship to his whole family who then moved to the United Arab Emirates. Abdulrahman joined the club with two of his brothers and enrolled in Al Ain's youth academy.
Abdulrahman joined Al Ain Academy in 2008, and has played for Al Ain's under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 and reserve team. He was promoted to the first team by coach Winfried Schäfer after he saw him at the Al Ain International Under-17 Football tournament in 2009. His official debut with the first team was against Al Ahli on 24 January 2009 in Etisalat Cup. Despite being promoted to the first team, Abdulrahman continued to play for the reserve team. His last match with the reserve team was against Al Nasr on 24 January 2012. He scored 6 goals and Assists 3 in 10 matches over 5 seasons with the reserve.
