Khaberni - After an absence of about a year and a half following the tragic incident he experienced in Dubai, Saudi star Fahad Al-Muwallad has reappeared, recording his first official comment since that event that caused widespread controversy.
The story dates back to September 2024, after the conclusion of the Saudi national team's participation in the international break, when Al-Muwallad went to Dubai for a short vacation. A few days later, it was announced that he had been taken to a hospital after a serious accident, without initially disclosing detailed information.
Later, Dubai Police clarified that he had fallen from an apartment balcony on the second floor, noting that there was no information confirming criminal suspicion in the accident.
After receiving treatment in Dubai, the player was transported by medical evacuation flight to Riyadh to continue his treatment in the Kingdom, where he has since remained out of the spotlight, amidst ambiguity regarding the progress of his health condition.
During his absence, several narratives about the circumstances of the accident spread, the most notable being claims of an assassination attempt, claims which were not confirmed by any official statement.
However, Al-Muwallad recently responded to a circulating clip about these claims, and he wrote on his account on the platform "X": "Allah is sufficient for me and the best agent", in his first direct comment since the accident. Notably, the comment was deleted about an hour after posting, which increased the controversy and questions.
As for the latest official update on his health condition, it was in April 2025, when his brother Saud Al-Muwallad confirmed that his condition was stable, on the sidelines of a charity initiative held in support of him, with its proceeds allocated to his family and sponsoring orphans with the intent of his healing. At that time, his brother only confirmed the stability of his condition, urging everyone to continue praying for him.
Fahad Al-Muwallad is one of the prominent graduates of Al-Ittihad Club, where he progressed through its youth categories before joining the first team in 2011, continuing with its jersey for 11 years.
In the summer of 2022, he moved to Al-Shabab Club, and he also had a brief professional stint with Levante of Spain in 2018.
Internationally, he represented the Saudi national team in 71 matches, during which he scored 15 goals and made 6 assists.
