Yaser Mohammed Abdulrahman Hamed (Arabic: ياسر محمد عبدالرحمن حامد; born 9 December 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Egyptian side Al Zamalek. Born in Spain, he represents the Palestine national team.

Club career

The second of five sons born to a Palestinian father and a Basque mother[4][5] and a product of the esteemed Athletic Bilbao academy which he joined at 10 years of age and departed at 15, Hamed has gone on to play for various Basque sides in the third and fourth tier of Spanish football including CD Santurtzi, SD Leioa, and Club Portugalete.[6][7] He was in the Portugalete team which won their league group in 2018–19 but failed to achieve promotion in the play-offs, and was still with them the following season when they managed to follow up a second successive title with promotion; however Hamed left the club at the end of that season.[citation needed]

In January 2022, he transferred to Egyptian Premier League side, Al Masry on a two-and-a-half year contract.[8] He scored his first goal on 20 February, in a 2–0 win against TP Mazembe.[9]

He transferred to Qatari club Al-Rayyan in August 2022, where he joined players like James Rodríguez.[10] Hamed, however, left the club at the beginning of the year.[citation needed] In 2023, he played for Al Qadsia in Kuwait and NorthEast United in India.

In February 2024, Hamed joined Egyptian club Zamalek.[11] He made his debut in a 2–1 CAF Confederation Cup win over Abu Salim.[12]

International career

Hamed was first contacted by the Palestine national team in July 2019 and made his debut in a 1–0 win over Yemen in the 2019 WAFF Championship. Hamed scored the lone goal in that game. He went on to play every single minute of the tournament, helping Palestine record their best ever showing at a WAFF Championship finishing behind Iraq with a record of two wins, one draw, and one loss.[citation needed] Hamed scored his second national team goal two months later in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Singapore.[citation needed]

On 1 January 2024, he was named in the Palestinian squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.[13]
