Born on the 6th of March, 2002 in Iraq, Ameen Al-Dakhil is a robust central defender currently strutting his stuff on the grassy pitches of Stuttgart. Standing tall at 6ft 1in (1.87 metres) and robustly weighing in at 12st 10lb (81kg), Al-Dakhil is a formidable proposition for any striker. Commanding the shirt with the number 2 as his own, Al-Dakhil holds the distinction of international caps with the Belgium national team.
Presently, Al-Dakhil's market value is estimated to be in the vicinity of £3.5m, a figure documented by the football statisticians at Transfermarkt.
Hobby horse of his career, a young Al-Dakhil moved to Standard Liege in the Belgian Pro League as a trainee back in the summer heat of July 2019. He invested a promising debut season of 2021 - 2022 in Liege, fiercely competing in 13 first team league matches.
The transfer window of January 2022 saw Al-Dakhil transition from Standard Liege to the Belgian Pro League's Sint-Truiden for a nominal sum of approximately £450k. He made a substantial mark during the 2021 - 2022 campaign at Sint-Truiden, earning his stripes in nine first team league matches. The subsequent season of 2022 - 2023 at Sint-Truiden further solidified his worth, with Al-Dakhil making 16 first team appearances in league football.
Come January 2023, Al-Dakhil made the pivotal cross-channel switch from Sint-Truiden in Belgium to Premier League club Burnley, for a fee obscured by confidential terms. His initial season of 2022 - 2023 with Burnley saw him clock in at eight first team league appearances, with the 2023 - 2024 season bringing forth 13 first team appearances and a coveted league goal.
In a move that saw Al-Dakhil cross the English Channel once more, this time heading eastwards, August 2024 saw him transfer from Burnley to Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga, with the Germans parting with a sizeable fee of around £7.6m. Since joining Stuttgart, Al-Dakhil has held his own, making seven first team appearances in both the 2024 - 2025 and the ongoing 2025 - 2026 seasons.
