Club career
Al-Yahmadi began his career with Al-Shabab, before moving to Al-Wakra in the Qatari Second Division in 2018.[2] He tore his ACL in 2019 which ruled him out of much of the 2019-20 season and led Al-Wakra to look for transfer options.[3] He then moved to Al-Shahaniya, who hoped he could help them escape relegation.[4]
In 2020, he signed with Al-Markhiya.[5] In 2021, the team finished as runners-up in the Qatar FA Cup, a post-season tournament without the top clubs.[6] Al-Markhiya won the Qatari Second Division in 2021/22 and were promoted to the Qatar Stars League.[7] Al-Yahmadi renewed his contract with Al-Markhiya in July 2022, which then expired in summer 2023.[8][9]
International career
Al-Yahmadi made his debut for the Oman national football team in a friendly match on 24 March 2016 against Guam. He was included in Oman's squad for the 2017 CISM World Football Cup in Oman, the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship in China and the 2019 AFC Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.[10]
Al-Yahmedi started all five matches during the 23rd Arabian Gulf Cup which Oman won after defeating UAE in the final.[11] He has continued to play in tournaments and qualifying for Oman, including 2022 World Cup qualification, the 2021 Arab Cup, and the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup in which Oman finished second.[9]
Style of play
Al-Yahmadi is a left-footed player who often performs as an inverted right-winger, cutting inside from the flank. He has a low center of gravity which allows him to change directions quickly. Oman often uses Al-Yahmedi on the counterattack, especially due to his speed.[11]
