Hussein Yasser El-Mohammadi Abdulrahman (Arabic: حسين ياسر المحمدي عبد الرحمن; born 9 January 1984) is a Qatari footballer who plays as a midfielder and Wigner .
Yasser was born to an Egyptian family. His father was a footballer in Egypt during the 1970s. He transferred to Qatar in the 1980s to play with Al-Khor, before making the transition to coach in 1994, and subsequently Yasser was born in Qatar. He is registered by FIFA as a Qatari and not an Egyptian national. His brothers are also footballers. His youngest brother, Ahmed Yasser, plays for the Qatar Under-20 team.Mohammed Yasser, his younger brother, is a former national player and currently plays for Umm Salal.
His wife, Angie, is a Belgian national. In 2005, she gave birth to their son Younis. He was set for an imminent return to the Egyptian Premier League in 2012, but his wife refused to return to Egypt due to the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, and he subsequently stayed in Belgium for an additional year.
Yasser's first professional club was Manchester United, for whom he signed in 2002. He was suggested to the club by René Meulensteen, who was then coach of the Qatar national team. He was soon farmed out to Royal Antwerp on loan in order to achieve a Belgian passport and qualify for a British work permit as an EU national. However, the agreement was terminated after two years, although he did manage to get a Belgian passport.
Manchester United sold Yasser to Cypriot club AEL Limassol in 2004. He left after just one season with the club, citing family problems.
