Biography
Ahmed Faraj Abdullah Al-Rawahi (Arabic: احمد فرج عبدالله الرواحي; born 5 May 1994), commonly known as Ahmed Al-Rawahi, is an Omani footballer who plays for Al-Nasr Club in the Oman Professional League.
Club career
Al-Nasr
On 3 June 2017, Al-Rawahi extended his contract with Al-Nasr for another two seasons as the Salalah-based club showed faith in one of the country's finest keepers. Soon after the transfer of the club's and Oman national team's first choice keeper, Faiz Al-Rushaidi to Al-Suwaiq Club, Ahmed was promoted as the first choice keeper at Al-Nasr. The young keeper from Muscat did not disappoint and helped The King club win its 5th Sultan Qaboos Cup title defeating Sohar SC 6-5 on penalties after the match had ended 2-2 after extra time.
Before the beginning of the 2018-19 season, he also helped his side clinch their maiden Oman Super Cup title winning 4-2 on penalties against Al-Suwaiq after the match had ended 0-0 after normal time.
