Hamed Shami Zaher (born 13 November 1984) is a former Qatari footballer who played as a defender for Al Gharrafa.[1] He was also a member of the Qatar national football team.
Career
Shami played with Al Gharafa from the age of 9, eventually breaking into the first team in 1999.[2] In 2011, he personally received a formal offer to play for Saudi's Al Nassr FC from the chairman, Prince Faisal Bin Turki Bin Nasser.[3]
In a dramatic Arabian Gulf Cup in 2010, Shami featured in a match against Saudi Arabia; the last hope of Qatar qualifying for the knockout stage. Qatar required 3 points in order to edge out Saudi Arabia and claim the runners-up spot in their group. Ibrahim Al-Ghanim scored a goal late in the second half, however, his efforts were undone as Shami scored an own goal in the 89th minute (the only own goal of the tournament), leaving Saudi Arabia a point clear of Qatar.[4]
