Salman Al-Faraj (born 1 August 1989) is a Saudi Arabian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. He spent the majority of his career as a one-club man with Al Hilal, winning an impressive haul of eight Saudi Pro League titles and two AFC Champions League trophies before transferring to Neom in July 2024. On the international stage, he debuted for Saudi Arabia in October 2012 and scored his first goal in a 2018 World Cup qualifier in 2015. His most memorable moment came at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where he scored a penalty equalizer against Egypt, securing Saudi Arabia's only win of the tournament. He later captained the team at the 2020 Summer Olympics and played in the 2022 World Cup, but was controversially excluded from the 2023 Asian Cup squad due to reported off-field frictions with coach Roberto Mancini.
