About Fahad

A football professional with a whole-club view of the game.

My background, what drives me, and why I've built my career across coaching, operations, management and the business of football.

My background

Where it started.

Like so many people in the game, my relationship with football began as a passion — watching, playing, studying how great teams were put together. Over time that passion became a clear professional direction.

I became fascinated not just by what happens on the pitch, but by everything that makes it possible: the coaching that develops players, the operations that keep a club running, the leadership that sets its culture and the business decisions that secure its future.

That curiosity has shaped my career. Rather than seeing football through one narrow lens, I've worked to understand the whole club — and how each part affects the others.

"The clubs I admire most are the ones where everyone — from the kit room to the boardroom — understands the plan and their part in it."
— Fahad Al-Meraikhi
What drives me

The values I bring to every role.

01

Professionalism

Preparation, punctuality and high standards in everything — the small details are what separate good clubs from great ones.

02

Continuous learning

The game keeps evolving, and so do I. I'm always studying new methods in coaching, data, operations and leadership.

03

Relationships

Football runs on trust. I value honest communication and building strong, lasting connections with players, staff and partners.

04

Results with purpose

Winning matters — but so does how you win, who you develop along the way and what you leave behind for the next generation.

Where I am now

Ready for the next challenge.

I'm actively building my professional network across the football industry and I'm open to opportunities in coaching, football operations and club management — as well as business roles connected to the game.
