Abdelrahman "Abdo" Boudah ( Saidi, born 13 August 1999) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan.

Early life

[edit]

He was born as Abdelrahman Saidi in Gothenburg, Sweden, to Algerian parents. He moved to Borås at a young age and started to play youth football with local club Norrby IF.[1][2][3] In 2023, he decided to represent his mother's surname, and now plays with Boudah on his jersey.[4]

Club career

[edit]

Norrby IF

[edit]

Before the start of the 2017 season, Boudah was promoted to Norrby's first team. On 21 May, he made his debut in Superettan, Sweden's second tier, in a 2–1 away win against IFK Värnamo. On 27 May, he scored his first competitive goal for the club in a 3–0 home win against IK Frej.[2] He ended the 2017 season making 17 league appearances, scoring twice, reportedly attracting interest from Allsvenskan clubs AIK, BK Häcken and IF Elfsborg.[5][6]

On 1 August 2018, Boudah signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with Norrby. Throughout the season, he established himself as a starter in Superettan, making 25 appearances and scoring three goals.[7]

In 2019, Boudah made 27 appearances, scoring four goals, as Norrby finished 9th in the Superettan table.[8][9] In 2020, Saidi played 26 league games and scored seven goals, as Norrby once again avoided relegation by finishing 11th in the table.[10]

Degerfors IF

[edit]

On 8 February 2021, Boudah transferred to newly promoted Allsvenskan club Degerfors IF, signing a three-year contract.[11] He quickly broke into Degerfors' starting eleven, scoring four goals in 29 appearances as the club finished 13th in the table, avoiding the relegation play-offs by one place.[12][13][14]

In 2022, Degerfors initially struggled at the bottom of the Allsvenskan table, although Boudah continued as a starter for the team. On 9 May, in an away game against GIF Sundsvall, Boudah scored his first hat-trick at senior level in just ten minutes, securing a 3–2 win for his side in stoppage time.[15] In total, Boudah made 45 competitive appearances for the club across one and a half season, scoring 11 goals.[16]

Hammarby IF

[edit]

On 11 July 2022, Boudah transferred to Hammarby IF, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract.[17] The transfer fee was reportedly set at around 5 million Swedish kronor.[18]

International career

[edit]

On 14 October 2019, Boudah made his debut for the Swedish U19's, in a 3–2 friendly win against Norway.[19][20]
