Fahad Al-Muwallad, who plays as a forward for the Saudi national team and Al-Shabab club, is now in the intensive care unit at Rashid Hospital in Dubai after falling from the balcony at home.

On Thursday morning, the Saudi national team star fell from the balcony of his second-floor home in Dubai between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. He was quickly transferred after suffering multiple fractures in Dubai to receive appropriate treatment.

The forward had played against the Indonesian and Chinese national teams in the 2026 Asian Cup qualifiers in Dubai.

Cameras in the street and at the player's home are currently being reviewed to determine the causes of the accident.

No one was with Al-Muwallad at the time of the accident, as his friends had left three hours before the accident, according to Saudi sources.
