LOAN DEAL
In April 2021 he joined Qatar Sports Club on a one-month loan deal. (Twitter profile, 06 Apr 2021; arriyadiyah.com, 11 Apr 2021)

OVERSEAS EXPERIENCE
He has played club table tennis in Egypt, Bahrain, Austria and Qatar. "My best experience was in Austria, due to the large number of distinguished players in the European leagues. I've benefited a lot from coming into contact with internationally ranked players at a high level, as they have different methods of performance and very skillful techniques. This has helped me develop in all respects, and having this exposure also helps forge ties within the global table tennis community. I have faced many difficulties abroad, however, the most prominent of which is being away from my family and the frequent travel, which causes fatigue." (arriyadiyah.com, 11 Apr 2021)
