Journalist | Passionate Football WriterThroughout my journey in journalism, which began in 2006 when I joined one of Saudi Arabia’s leading newspapers, I have worked at numerous media outlets.
I have been part of the editorial teams at several prominent Arabic newspapers and digital platforms, producing hundreds of reports and in-depth investigative articles. These covered both major sporting events and the business side of sports.
However, my true passion for football began much earlier — since the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, which featured an extraordinary generation of football legends, led by the likes of France’s Zinedine Zidane and Brazil’s Roberto Carlos.
Today, I specialize in creating sports content, including journalistic features, match analyses, and coverage of major sporting events and tournaments.
My all-time favorite XI is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon.
Defense: Cafu – Franz Beckenbauer – Paolo Maldini – Marcelo.
Midfield: Diego Maradona – Zinedine Zidane – Ronaldinho.
Attack: Lionel Messi – Ronaldo Nazário – Cristiano Ronaldo.
