Rami Hamada

Hamada began his career playing for Hapoel Shfar'am before moving to Maccabi Netanya. He signed his first pro contract in 2012, when he joined the Palestinian side Thaqafi Tulkarem. Hamada left Tulkarem for a one-season spell at Shabab Al-Khader SC in 2014, before coming back and playing for Tulkarem until 2017. In his final season with Thaqafi Tulkarem, Hamada set a record for clean sheets in a season- registering 14 whilst only conceding 19 goals in 22 games. His season also featured a streak of six games without conceding a goal. In 2017, Hamada signed for Hilal Al-Quds, with which he won the double in 2017-18, and was voted best goalkeeper two consecutive seasons. In his first season with Hilal Al-Quds, Hamada set a record for fewest goals conceded in a league season- allowing only 9 in 21 games. This success drew the attention of bigger clubs, and in 2020 Hamada signed a two-season contract with Israeli Premier League club Bnei Sakhnin. In March 2021, Hamada made history as the first active West Bank Premier League player to be called up to the Palestinian National Team. For the 2021–22 season, Hamada signed with Shabab Al-Khaleel and helped them win the 2021–22 West Bank Premier League title. The goalkeeper broke his own records for most clean sheets in a season, registering 15 while also setting a new mark for fewest goals conceded, seven, in a league campaign. On 11 January 2025, Hamada sign a contract with Qatari Second Division club, Al Markhiya.

He played three out of four qualifiers for the 2012 AFC U-19 Championship, missing the final qualifier due to yellow card accumulation conceding four goals in three games and making a number of outstanding saves to keep the overmatched Palestinians in games against Syria, UAE, and Lebanon. In 2012, he was called up to the U-22 side in their quest to qualify for the 2013 AFC U-22 Championship and served as the back-up to Ghanem Mahajneh. In 2013, he was called up to face Jordan in an unofficial friendly and came on in the 81st minute in place of Ramzi Saleh. The following year, he made waves in a friendly vs. Brazil, holding the opposition scoreless for 60 minutes and saving a penalty from Ademilson. Hamada was the starting goalkeeper at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon and played a key role in Palestine winning its first ever games at the competition and advancing to the knockout round for the first time.
