Club career

Al-Ammar made his professional debut for Al-Shabab's youth team on 17 November 2017 in the league match against Al-Ittihad. He came off the bench replacing Abdullah Al-Khaibari in the 84th minute.[4] On 30 November 2017, Al-Ammar made his first start for Al-Shabab in the 2–1 win against Al-Taawoun.[5] He ended his first season at the club making 16 appearances in all competitions. Additionally, Al-Ammar won the "Young Player of the Season" award for the 2017–18 season.[6]

Al-Ammar missed the beginning of the 2018–19 season due to the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship. He made his return on 23 November 2018 in the league match against Al-Nassr.[7]

On 28 January 2019, Al-Ammar signed his first professional contract with the club.[8] He was ruled out until the end of the season due to injury on 25 February 2019.[9] On 5 March 2020, Al-Ammar scored his first goal for Al-Shabab, in the 4–0 win against Al-Adalah.[10]

On 29 August 2023, Al-Ammar joined Saudi First Division League side Al-Qadsiah on a three-year deal.[11]

International career

He was named on the final list of the Saudi Arabia U19, participating in the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship held in Indonesia. Al-Ammar scored four goals during the tournament, resulting in him being named as the best player of the competition. He was later included as "Young Player of the Year" by the Asian Football Confederation, the first Saudi to ever achieve this honor.[12]

His performance at the 2018 U-19 Asian Cup led to Al-Ammar playing for Saudi team in friendlies against Jordan and South Korea.[13] and Jordan.[14] He was later omitted from the squad for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.[15]

Al-Ammar finally made his debut for the senior team in the friendly match against Paraguay at home, coming on as substitute for Yahya Al-Shehri during the second half.[16] He was also included in the final squad of the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup, under coach Hervé Renard. After the disastrous 1–3 loss to Kuwait, he was benched.[17]
