One of the defenders counted on the fingers of one hand in the history of Saudi football, he has made a great contribution to the national team, especially to the FIFA World Cup, after he participated in three editions, starting from the first appearance of the green in the 1994 World Cup in America .
He was known as “Radar” due to his special ability to catch dangerous balls in his team’s penalty area. He is an international defender Abdullah Suleiman, defender of Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal clubs. Abdullah Suleiman started his ball career with Al Ahly Club and became a strong special style defender and gave years of giving with Al Ahly before the temptation to move followed him until he moved to the capital when he wore the shirt” Al-Hilal”, and with him he continued his brilliance and opened new chapters of tournaments in the blue shirt. While on two stages he continued his bid in the Green Falcons shirt, a solid defender whose legs were crushed by competitors’ attempts to shake the green nets.
Radar faded with his retirement from football and distanced himself completely from the media and the sporting realm, but the earthquake of relegation of his former team Al Ahly to the first division was again strongly manifested through Al Madina, who restored the radar after years of reluctance and stops, and it was a dialogue.
