Club career

Following a slow career progress, he took a year off football and started again in the sixth tier, Division 4. He eventually moved up the football system to Enköpings SK FK and then Sandvikens IF. A foreign club also showed interest for Al-Saed, this being Norwegian IK Start, but the move did not materialize. Al-Saed stayed in Sandviken, and did not play competitively for Iraq U23 either, stating that his father advised against it. [2] [3] [4] [5]

The move to Norway came one year later, to Sandefjord during the winter transfer window. Performing well in the initial third of the season, with four goals and one assist in ten games, IFK Göteborg were reportedly interested in him. [6]

International career

In early 2022, Al-Saed was invited to a training camp for the Iraqi U23 national team.

In October 2023, Al-Saed received his first call-up to the Iraqi senior national team for the 2023 Jordan International Tournament. [7]

Personal life

Al-Saed hails from Bålsta, [3] and is the son of an Iraqi father and Chilean mother. [5]
