Danilo Andrés Al-Saed Alvarado (born 24 February 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a left winger for BK Häcken.[1] Born in Sweden, he plays for the Iraq national team.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Following a slow career progress, he took a year off football and started again in the sixth tier, Division 4. He eventually moved up the football system to Enköpings SK FK and then Sandvikens IF. A foreign club also showed interest for Al-Saed, this being Norwegian IK Start, but the move did not materialize. Al-Saed stayed in Sandviken, and did not play competitively for Iraq U23 either, stating that his father advised against it.[2][3][4][5]
The move to Norway came one year later, to Sandefjord during the winter transfer window. Performing well in the initial third of the season, with four goals and one assist in ten games, IFK Göteborg were reportedly interested in him.[6]
On 10 January 2025, Al-Saed joined AIK in Sweden on loan until 30 June 2025, with an option to buy.[7]
On 16 July 2025, Al-Saed joined BK Häcken on a contract until end of 2028.[8]
International career
[edit | edit source]In early 2022, Al-Saed was invited to a training camp for the Iraqi U23 national team.
In October 2023, Al-Saed received his first call-up to the Iraqi senior national team for the 2023 Jordan International Tournament.[9]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Al-Saed hails from Bålsta,[3] and is the son of an Iraqi father and Chilean mother.[5]
