Salem Muhamed al-Dawsari (Arabic: سالم محمد الدوسري; born 19 August 1991) is a Saudi Arabian footballer who plays as a winger for Al-Hilal and the Saudi Arabia national team.

Club career[]

Al-Dawsari joined Al-Hilal as a youth player. In 2018, as part of a deal between the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and La Liga, he joined Spanish club Villarreal on loan.[2] He made one appearance in Spain, coming on as a substitute against Real Madrid as Villareal came from behind to draw 2–2.[2]

In the second leg of the 2019 AFC Champions League Final on 24 November, Al-Dawsari scored the opening goal in an eventual 2–0 away win over Urawa Red Diamonds, which saw Al-Hilal win the title following a 3–0 aggregate victory; the title allowed them to qualify for the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup.[3]

International career[]

Al-Dawsari was called up to the Saudi Arabian national team for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and scored his first international goal in an away match against Australia in 2012.[4] In May 2018, he was named in Saudi Arabia’s preliminary squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[5] On 25 June, Al-Dawsari scored a late winning goal as his side won 2–1 over Egypt in their last group stage match of the World Cup.[6]
