Alaa Raad Shihab Al Hamadani (born 20 February 1998) is an Iraqi professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Iraqi Stars League side Erbil.
Club career
Raad started playing for Naft Al-Basra after being scouted and officially signed on May 12, 2016.[1] On December 10, 2017, he scored his first Premier League goal against Al-Hussein in a match that ended in a 2–2 draw.[2], and on August 5, 2019, he officially joined Al-Zawraa, where the deal was regarded as a signing of a standout talent.[3][4] On July 11, 2020, Al-Zawraa management renewed the player's contract for an additional season.[5] On July 19, 2021, he missed a penalty kick for Al-Zawraa in the Iraq FA Cup final penalty shootout, as Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya won the title after the match ended in a 0–0 draw.[6] He featured in the League's Team of the Week for both round 6 and round 24.[7][8]
He then moved to Naft Maysan, signing a one-season contract. The following season, he returned to Naft Al-Basra, where he shined by scoring several crucial goals, including strikes against Al-Shorta,[9] Amanat Baghdad,[10][11] and Al-Minaa.[12] On July 20, 2024, he scored the survival-securing goal that saved the club from relegation, netting the winner in the final minutes of the last round match against Al-Qasim, which ended in a 2–1 victory for Naft Al-Basra.[13]
In August 2024, he officially transferred to Zakho.[14] On August 10, 2025, he moved to Erbil, and on June 22, 2026, he transferred to Al-Minaa, with the club officially announcing his signing.[15]
International career
Raad was first picked to represent Iraq in 2020, when the under-23 coach Abdul-Ghani Shahad selected him to be a part of his 23-man squad to play in 2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualification[16] and 2020 AFC U-23 Championship.[17]
