Yahya Alghassani has quickly become one of the brightest symbols of a new generation in Emirati football. Talented, disciplined and ambitious, the young UAE international sees his rise not only as a personal success, but as a responsibility toward the players coming after him.
Having progressed through the local football system, Alghassani often highlights the importance of coaching, structure and belief at a young age. He credits his development to the guidance he received early on and believes today’s young footballers in the UAE deserve even more support, both on and off the pitch.
Beyond his performances, Alghassani hopes to serve as a role model, showing that hard work, professionalism and patience can open doors at the highest level. He regularly speaks about the need for young players to focus on long-term growth rather than quick fame, stressing discipline, education and mental strength.
Looking ahead, his ambition goes beyond individual trophies or contracts. Alghassani wants to “pay it forward” by inspiring the next generation, whether through mentoring, community initiatives or simply setting the right example as a national team player.
