Mohammed Salem Al-Enazi

Early career

Al-Enazi started his playing career in the youth team of Al-Tadamun, then in the Qatari Second Division, starting out as a goalkeeper at the age of thirteen. He later moved to Al Rayyan's youth team, and eventually got promoted to the senior squad, where he competed with Mansour Muftah, who is considered the best Qatari striker of all time, for a place in the starting line-up. In 1996, he became the world's fourth highest scorer. Due to this achievement, Iraqi club Talaba SC tried to sign him on a loan deal in 1996, which would have made him the first foreign professional footballer in Iraq, but the transfer never materialized.
