Abdelatif Bahdari (Arabic: عبد اللطيف البهداري; born 20 February 1984) is a Palestinian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Markaz Balata. From 2007 to 2021, he earned 79 caps for Palestine national football team.
Club career
[edit]Al-Wehdat
[edit]Bahdari began his professional career when he moved to Jordanian Al-Wahdat in the summer of 2009. In his first year, Bahdari and fellow countryman Ahmed Keshkesh helped Al-Wahdat secure the Jordan FA Cup.[citation needed]
Hajer
[edit]Bahdari's season saw him attract the attention of many clubs in the West Bank, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. It was initially thought that Bahdari would join Kuwait SC. He was also linked with Kuwaiti club Al-Nasr, he eventually signed with Shabab Al-Khaleel of the West Bank Premier League but the contract included a get-out clause if Bahdari received a professional contract from a club based abroad. On 1 July 2011 Bahdari signed a two-year deal with newly promoted Hajer Club of the Saudi Professional League. His salary (a rumored $280,000/yr.) would make him the best paid Palestinian athlete.[2]
Bahdari captained Hajer on more than one occasion in the Saudi topflight for the Al-Hasa-based side. Bahdari's was Hajer's second top-scorer with 3 league goals and was second in total minutes played. He was only held out of 4 league matches due to card accumulation, threat of card accumulation, or injury.[citation needed]
International career
[edit]Bahdari captained the Palestinian national team in their first home World Cup qualifier against Afghanistan on 3 July 2011. He took over the captaincy on a full-time basis in 2015 during 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification[citation needed]
