Ali Hadi Mohammed Al-Bulaihi ( Arabic: علي هادي محمد البليهي; born 21 November 1989) is a Saudi who plays as a centre-back for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and the Saudi Arabia national team. [4]
Al-Bulaihi started his career at Al-Amal where he spent three years before joining Al-Nahda in 2014. [5] On 23 July 2015, he joined Al-Fateh. [6]
On 21 June 2017, Al-Hilal signed Al Bulaihi on a free transfer. He signed a three-year contract with the club. [7]
In April 2024, in a derby match against rival team Al Nassr, he gathered some controversy after being elbowed by Cristiano Ronaldo after trying to intimidate him, resulting in a red card for Ronaldo and a yellow card for Al-Bulaihi. [8]
In June 2018, Al-Bulaihi was named in Saudi Arabia's squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. [9] He made his debut in the competition against Uruguay. [10] In November 2022, he was called up for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. [11] In the opening game, he played the whole match as his team defeated the eventual world champions Argentina 2–1. [12]
In January 2024, he drew criticism for shoving and grabbing the hair of South Korean player Son Heung-min, unprovoked, during the 2023 AFC Asian Cup round of 16. Al-Bulaihi had previously similarly taunted Argentine player Lionel Messi by slapping him on the back. [13] [14]
