Senegalese Abdullah Sick, the new defender of Al-Faisaly first football team, was born on June 4, 1992 in the coastal city of Mbour, Senegal. He comes from a simple family with roots in the western region of the country, where he grew up under the care of his father, who worked in marine fishing, and his mother, who managed household affairs. Sick started playing football in the streets and alleys of Mbour during childhood, and joined the youth categories of the 'Stade Mbour' association at an early age, before his football talent and towering height were noticed by local coach Ibrahima Ba, who supervised his physical development and guided him to play in defense. He then joined the famous Diambers Academy in Senegal, which refined his talent and initiated his real professional career. His professional career began with the Senegalese club Diambers, where he played in the domestic league until 2014, winning the Senegalese Premier League title in 2013. This drew the attention of European scouts, and he undertook his first foreign professional experience by moving to the Norwegian league on loan to Hønefoss in 2014, playing 11 matches and scoring one goal. He then moved to Sandefjord in Norway in 2016 and stayed until 2018, playing 100 matches and scoring 8 goals. The Senegalese defender moved to the Belgian league in 2018 to wear the jersey of Royal Antwerp, spending four consecutive seasons there until 2022, playing 94 matches in various competitions and scoring 6 goals, winning the Belgian Cup in 2020. In the summer of 2022, he moved to Maccabi Haifa, playing 66 matches and scoring 8 goals, and during that period he represented the team in the UEFA Champions League and scored two goals against Paris Saint-Germain. At the international level, Abdullah Sick began his career with the Senegal national team in 2013, and was part of the official Senegal squad that won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021 in Cameroon. He also participated with the national team in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and scored a goal against Guinea. The 33-year-old has played 32 international matches with the 'Lions of Teranga,' most notably against Iraq, where he scored a goal in a 5-0 victory in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. On a personal and family level, Abdullah Sick prefers to keep details of his family life away from the media. He is married to a Senegalese woman and is the father of two sons. His total wealth from professional contracts and salaries at European clubs is estimated between 3 and 5 million euros. The Senegalese defender also has private investments in real estate and contracting in his hometown of Mbour and the capital Dakar. In his free time, he enjoys fishing and listening to traditional African music. His favorite dish is 'Thiebou Dieune' (traditional Senegalese rice with fish). He is 192 cm tall and weighs 89 kg.
