Mohamed Al-Deayea

Mohamed Abdullaziz Al-Deayea (محمد عبد العزيز الدعيع; born 2 August 1972) is a Saudi Arabian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

He participated in four FIFA World Cups for the Saudi Arabia national team and earned a total of 173 officially recognised caps.

Al-Deayea has split his professional career between the clubs Al-Ta'ee and Al-Hilal.

Originally, he started as a handball player, but was convinced by his club and his older brother Abdullah to become a professional footballer.

Mohammed was under great pressure of expectations in the beginning of his career because his brother Abdullah was an AFC Asian Cup winner and a highly reputed goalkeeper.

On 22 June 2010, Mohamed Al-Deayea announced his retirement from football at the age of 37.

On 5 January 2012, a big farewell match was organised between Al-Hilal and Juventus F.C. 70,000 people were packed in the King Fahd Stadium.

The match ended 7–1 in favour of Juventus with one goal from Saad Al-Harthi.

Juventus's goals were scored by Alessandro Del Piero (twice), Eljero Elia, Arturo Vidal, Giorgio Chiellini, Simone Pepe, and Fabio Quagliarella.
