Abdulellah Saad Hamid Al-Wahbi Al-Malki (ar|عبد الإله سعد حميد الوهبي المالكي; born 11 October 1994) is a Saudi professional footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Al-Ettifaq on loan from Al-Hilal.[2]
Al-Malki previously played for Al-Wehda from 2015 until 2019. He helped Al-Wehda earn promotion to the Pro League twice, first in 2014–15 as runners-up and second in 2017–18 after winning the MS League.[3] He joined Al-Ittihad during the summer transfer window of 2019.[4] He spent three years at the club and made 81 appearances in all competitions. On 22 January 2022, Al-Malki joined rivals Al-Hilal on a four-year contract.[5]
On 9 July 2024, Al-Malki joined Al-Ettifaq on a one-year loan.[6]
He was first called up to the Saudi Arabia national team in 2019 and went on to play a role in helping Saudi Arabia qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He gained prominence in the World Cup, however, by a fatal mistake in the next game against Poland, as he mishandled the ball and let Robert Lewandowski intercept it, eventually leading to the Polish legend to score his first-ever World Cup goal as Saudi Arabia lost 2–0.[7] Saudi Arabia went on to be eliminated from the group stage, despite achieving a historic 2–1 shock win over Argentina in the opener.
As of 31 May 2024.[8]
