    Career

    Scouted playing football in Riyadh, he joined Al Ain's academy after the club arranged Emirati passports for his whole family, and he spent eleven seasons in Al Ain's first team, reaching the 2016 AFC Champions League final; after a loan season at Al-Hilal he played for Al Jazira, Shabab Al-Ahli and Al Wasl. His brothers Mohammed and Khaled are also professional footballers. 1 2 3

    On the record

    For his religious affiliation the record is silent in a specific way: neither the English nor the Arabic article states any religion for him — in text, infobox or categories — and his Wikidata item carries no religion value at all. The English article does trace his Al-Amoudi family's name to a thirteenth-century Hadhrami Sufi saint; that is the lineage of an ancestor, not an attestation of Omar Abdulrahman's own affiliation, and ancestry never counts as one here. His affiliation is therefore entered as unknown. 1 2 3
