Alexander Bah, born on 9 December 1997 (age 28), is a Danish right-back with Benfica, where he wears the number 6 shirt. His career has been a steady one rather than a noisy one, with his work at Sonderjyske providing the clearest early marker.
His most productive league season came at Sonderjyske in 2020-21, when he scored four goals in 12 appearances. For a full-back, that was a useful return, and it points to the attacking side of his game without needing to dress him up as something he is not.
At Benfica in 2026-27, Bah has made 14 appearances in all competitions and scored twice. That includes seven Liga Portugal appearances with one goal, five in Europa League qualifying, and two in the Europa League, where he has also scored.
He has also been involved with Denmark this season, making two appearances in European World Cup qualifying. His profile is that of an established professional full-back: productive enough going forward, settled at a strong club, and active at international level.
