A key player for Saudi Arabia at the AFC Futsal Asian Cup Indonesia 2026™, the 28-year-old said the game requires diverse responsibility for the player between the posts.
“The goalkeeper is like a coach on the court, he sees the positions of every player and therefore carries the responsibility of directing his teammates, whether in attack or defence,” said Aldahhan.
“Since childhood, I have loved playing as a goalkeeper. I have great passion for this role and always strive to improve and learn.
“I also look forward to scoring goals with the club or the national team, and I have succeeded in doing so during the Asian Cup qualifiers and with the clubs I have played for.”

Aldahhan’s Saudi Arabia came close to creating the first major upset of the tournament as the West Asian side not only held defending champions Islamic Republic of Iran at bay for almost 30 minutes in their Group D tie on Friday, but also kept his opposite number Bagher Mohammadi extremely busy.
Iran’s quality eventually saw them pull through, scoring via Amirhossein Gholami and Mohammadi to take the win but the performance gave Aldahhan and his teammates a boost ahead of their final game against Malaysia on Sunday.
