Saleh Alhamid, known on Instagram as @s.alhamid21, is not just another content creator. He is a game-changer in the world of Saudi women’s football media. At just 20 years old, he has built a loyal following by creating unique, passionate content that highlights a side of football often ignored — the women’s game.
His journey into the media world was not inspired by a mentor or a celebrity. In fact, Saleh boldly shares, “No one inspired me. I entered the media field because I am a football lover. And since there was no media coverage in women’s football, I decided to be the best media personality in Saudi women’s football.”
This wasn’t just a career choice. It was a mission.
Breaking Into A Tough World
When Saleh started his journey, the environment wasn’t easy. He faced harsh criticism and rejection, not for his skills, but simply because he chose to support women’s football.
“People used to say that media in women’s football is difficult because there’s no support,” he explains. “Society wasn’t ready to accept women’s football. They were against it, and that made it hard for me. There was no support at all.”
But instead of giving up, he used these challenges as fuel. Saleh kept posting. He showed up, match after match, often without transportation, money, or even a media pass.
“The beginning was the hardest time of my life,” he recalls. “I didn’t have a car or money to go to matches. I didn’t even have a media ID. But I kept going. I stayed consistent.”
And slowly, the world began to watch.
Winning Hearts, Not Just Numbers
Today, Saleh Alhamid has built a strong social media presence, where thousands of followers — including players and fans — appreciate and support his work. But for him, it’s not about likes or views.
“My biggest achievement is the love from my followers and the players,” he says with pride. “That matters the most to me. Their support is the reason I succeeded, after God.”
This deep connection with his audience is what sets Saleh apart. He doesn’t just post highlights or match reviews. He tells real stories. He shines a light on women who are changing the game.
And in return, they trust him. They follow him. They thank him.
From Struggles to Success
One of the toughest moments in Saleh’s journey was when he got betrayed by people he trusted.
“I once trusted some people, and they stole from me,” he reveals. “It broke me emotionally. I was crushed. But that experience taught me a lesson — to be more organized and to trust the system. I now follow the rules to protect my rights.”
It’s not just a story of passion anymore. It’s a story of resilience, growth, and becoming stronger through pain.
Saleh openly shares that he regrets getting into past conflicts and now chooses to focus fully on his work.
“Commitment to work and staying away from problems is important,” he says. “I regret many issues I was involved in before, but I’ve changed.”
A Big Surprise Ahead
Saleh is not slowing down. In fact, he is preparing for his next big step — a partnership with a football academy.
“I’m working on improving my content, and I have a surprise coming soon,” he says excitedly. “I will be signing with an academy, and I will be their marketer. This academy will help every girl who dreams of becoming a football player.”
This move is not just about business. It’s a continuation of Saleh’s mission to grow the world of women’s football and to help open doors for more female athletes.
He is building something bigger than a brand. He is building a platform that inspires change.
A Message To Dreamers
Saleh’s story is a reminder that dreams don’t have to be easy to be possible.
“Don’t leave your dreams, no matter how hard they are,” he says. “There’s no such thing as impossible. Everyone who works hard will find success.”
He also hopes that his story will live on as an example for others:
“I hope people remember me kindly. I want them to read my story and keep going, knowing nothing is impossible.”
Why Saleh’s Journey Matters
In a world where women’s sports still struggle for attention, people like Saleh Alhamid are essential. He didn’t wait for change. He became the change.
His consistent effort, love for the game, and belief in women’s football have opened new doors in Saudi Arabia’s sporting landscape.
He proves that you don’t need money, connections, or approval from society to succeed. All you need is passion, purpose, and the courage to keep going when no one else believes in you.
At just 20 years old, Saleh is already making history — and he’s just getting started.
