Salem Al-Dawsari: Asia’s Best Once Again

Saudi Arabian star Salem Al-Dawsari has been crowned AFC Player of the Year 2024, marking his second time winning Asia’s top individual honor after first claiming it in 2022.

Known for his technical brilliance, leadership, and clutch performances, Al-Dawsari has been a key figure for Al Hilal and the Saudi national team. His unforgettable goal against Argentina in the 2022 FIFA World Cup remains one of the most iconic moments in Saudi football history.

With this new award, Al-Dawsari further cements his legacy as one of the greatest Asian footballers of his generation — a symbol of pride for Saudi football fans and an inspiration across the continent.

The Asian Playoff Battle for the 2026 World Cup 🏆⚽️

Six Asian teams are now fighting for just two tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. These nations are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Indonesia, UAE, and Oman.

The playoff stage is one of the most intense parts of the qualification journey. Every team knows that just a single win or mistake can decide its future. The atmosphere is full of pressure, emotion, and drama as these teams compete to join the already qualified nations like Japan, Iran, South Korea, Australia, Uzbekistan, and Jordan.

While the qualified teams can relax and prepare for the big tournament, the playoff teams are entering a fierce battle to keep their World Cup dream alive. Only two will make it through — the rest will have to wait four more years.

This is football at its most intense: passion, hope, and glory on the line. 🌍🔥

The Asian Cup and the aspiration of Saudi Arabia

We won't overlook Saudi Arabia's triumph over Argentina in the 2022 World Cup, where they secured a 2-1 victory. During that match, Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari were the scorers.

Currently guided by the skilled Roberto Mancini, the team is setting their sights on clinching victory in the Asian Cup.
