Ahmad Al Saleh (Arabic: أَحمَد الصَّالِح; born 20 May 1990)[1] is a Syrian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back.

Club career

[edit]

Al Saleh began his professional career with Syrian Premier League club Al-Jaish; he joined the senior squad in 2008.[1]

In 2018, Ahmad Al Saleh joined Lebanese Premier League champions Al Ahed.[citation needed] After one season, in 2019 he joined Kuwaiti club Al-Arabi.[citation needed]

Al Saleh was banned for life by the SFA after he kicked, insulted and spat on a referee after being sent off whilst playing for Al-Jaish against Al-Wathba in a Syrian Premier League game on 3 February 2023.[2]

On 27 April 2023, Al-Saleh joined Bourj in the Lebanese Premier League.[3]

International career

[edit]

Al Saleh was a part of the Syrian U-17 national team in the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea.[citation needed] He played against Argentina, Spain and Honduras in the group-stage of the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[citation needed] He scored one goal against Honduras in the third match of the group-stage.[4]

Al Saleh was selected to Valeriu Tiţa's 23-man final squad for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar,[5] but he didn't play in any of the three Syrian group games.[citation needed]

He played for Syria at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup; his side exited in the group stage after only picking up a single point.[citation needed] After Al Saleh revoked the Syria captaincy to Omar Al Somah, the press claimed that Al Saleh didn't like this decision and that he disputed it with Al Somah, who himself confirmed this matter in an interview in March 2019.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

Al Saleh is of Kurdish ethnicity.[citation needed] His brother, Sheroan, is also a professional player who plays for Al-Jaish SC.[citation needed]
