Nawaf Boushal #13

Profile

Hails from the Unesco heritage site of Ahsa, which is famous for producing dates, the speedy right-back, who can play on either side, has carved out a name for himself as well as a furrow up and down that side of the pitch. “His is a true story of perseverance,” said TV pundit Ali Al-Marshud. “A player who was once close to leaving [Al-Nassr] because it was said his services were no longer needed, but he made great sacrifices and became a top performer, earning the trust of coaches at both club and the national team.” As well as defensive discipline, he has become an increasing threat going forward, making 11 goal contributions for Al-Nassr in 2024-25.
