Yasser Al-Qahtani's Achievements
Yasser Al-Qahtani first went to Al-Ettifaq and took the test for a week; The coach was convinced of him, so the club management tried to sign him for approximately 30,000 Saudi riyals only. Yasser Al-Qahtani refused the offer due to his weakness and went
to Al-Qadisiyah SC, which his Brazilian coach Cabral was convinced of, and they contracted with him for 50,000 Saudi riyals in 2000. He was initially in the reserve
of the first team And in the 2000/2001 season, he was the top scorer for Al-Qadisiyah team, which was not yet twenty-one, and he succeeded with the team in winning the First Division League and advancing to the Premier League.
The 2002/03 season was his best season, as he excelled greatly and reached Al Qadisiyah for the golden square in the Saudi League. At that time, Al Hilal Saudi Club sent him an offer, and Al Ittihad Club
of Saudi Arabia sent an offer as well. Yasser Al-Qahtani was a fan of Al-Ahly club, as we knew, and he said that he would only move
to him, but the Qadisiyah Club management disagreed, as it rejected Al-Ahly’s offer and said that the union’s offer was higher, so it was not transferred to either of them.
Two seasons later, Yasser Al-Qahtani was still at the height of his brilliance, so the Saudi clubs Al-Ahly and Al-Ittihad tried to include him - again - and each team presented
its offer, and Al-Ittihad's offer was stronger this time as well, but the player's insistence on joining Al-Ittihad made Al-Qadisiyah Club enter into a deal with
Al-Hilal; The offer was initially 20 million Saudi riyals and that Al-Qahtani would give up another million of his share in the transfer, but the Qadisiyah management insisted on obtaining 25 million riyals!
Al-Qahtani increased the waived amount to two million riyals, and Al-Hilal club increased its offer to 22.5 million riyals, but Al-Qadisiyah Club increased a new condition, which is obtaining 25% of the value of any
Gulf offer received by Al-Hilal to Yasser, which was rejected by Al-Hilal, but Yasser Al-Qahtani appeared in a press conference to announce He agreed to this condition because he wanted to wear the blue shirt.
The funny thing about this transfer story is that in 2003, when Al-Hilal wanted to contract with Al-Qahtani, Al-Qadisiyah Club requested 200,000 riyals, but the management
of Al-Hilal dismissed the high financial compensation, before returning and buying it two years later for only 22.5 million riyals, i.e. almost 115 times!
This amount was so huge at the time that he changed the order of the news bulletin, as it was usual to start with a main news and it was a political news, but when
the deal was done, Al-Qahtani switched to the main news and then the bulletins were ready to change the main news according to the circumstances.
In the 2011/2012 season, he moved to the UAE club Al Ain on loan for one season, in which he participated in 15 matches, in which he scored seven goals.
After his first brilliance in his first season with Al-Qadisiyah and his attention, he joined the Saudi Olympic team and participated for the first time in the International
Friendship Tournament and starred in it. He won the title, and then two years later he participated with the national team.
His participation with the national team amounted to 112 international matches, in which he scored 45 goals, before announcing his retirement from international
football in 2012, before returning to participate in the 2013 Arab Gulf Cup and scored a goal.

Fahd Cup under 23 years in 2004, then with Al-Hilal he achieved the Crown Prince Cup 7 times (seasons 2005/2006, 2007/2008, 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2012). 2013/2015/2016), Prince Faisal bin Fahd Cup
