Al-Dawsari’s Mind Game
.png&w=3840&q=75)
Salem Al-Dawsari sent subtle messages in the race for the 2026 Asian Player of the Year award, posting a photo of himself with the trophy and a clip of his 2022 coronation. He was recalling his achievement without explicitly claiming he deserved the award. Al-Dawsari hopes to win it for a third time—a record. The Al-Hilal captain faces competition from Firas Al-Buraikan, who has achieved success at both continental and domestic level with Al-Ahli and the Saudi national team, and Iranian Alireza Beiranvand, who made his mark at the World Cup and contributed to Tractor’s achievements. Comparing Al-Dawsari’s campaign with the approaches of Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal suggests that self-promotion alone will not decide the award: the choice rests with the voters and their assessment of the season’s performances. The winner will be announced at a ceremony in Bangkok on November 19.
