Trivia
Kuwait’s 3-0 win over Korea Republic
in the 1980 final remains the biggest winning margin
in an AFC Asian Cup final.
He helped Kuwait SC secure back-to-back domestic league titles in 2023/24 and 2024/25, further establishing himself as one of the country’s leading attacking talents.
Daham’s impact has also increasingly been felt at international level. Having made his Kuwait debut in June 2023, the winger quickly became a regular and featured prominently during the AFC Asian Qualifiers™ – Road to 26, netting four times.
Among his most important contributions was the equaliser in Kuwait’s 1-1 draw with Jordan in November 2024.
Now entering what should be the prime years of his career, Daham has the opportunity to make his mark on Asia’s biggest stage.
With Kuwait returning to the AFC Asian Cup™ for the first time since Australia 2015, the 26-year-old will be determined to ensure the Blue Wave make their presence felt in Saudi Arabia.
