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

Early life

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

Norrby IF

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

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

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

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