Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

Salah Al-Deen played in both central defence and in a deep midfield position.

He played for the Iraq B team in Indonesia in 2000, before winning the 2000 AFC Youth Championship in Tehran, Iran, three months later. In the early games of that tournament, Saimand was never a regular, making only one substitute appearance before he was introduced at half-time against Korea; Iraq eliminated Korea and advanced to the semi-final. The Iraqi team manager kept the same formation for the semi-final match against Iran, giving Siamand his first start; he missed a penalty in the shoot-out win.

After the final win over Japan in the final, he was given an unexpected call up to the Iraqi national team by Milan Živadinović, making his debut on January 31, 2000 in a 0-0 draw with Lebanon in Beirut.[1]
