Khaled Ebraheim Helal Ebraheim Al-Dhanhani was born on 17 January 1997 in Dibba Al-Hisn, United Arab Emirates. He developed as a right-sided defender in the domestic pathway, combining the running demands of a full-back with the defensive awareness needed in a league that often tests wide players against high-quality foreign attackers.
His senior career became established at Sharjah, where he joined in 2020 and developed into a dependable right-back. Playing for a club with title ambitions sharpened his tactical discipline, and he contributed to a side that needed its full-backs to defend securely while still supporting attacks in wide areas.
As of 2026 he remains with Sharjah under a long-term contract, continuing as a UAE Pro League defender with experience in domestic and continental competition. His minutes may vary according to tactical shape, but he remains a useful player because he can hold width, overlap when required and recover quickly toward his own box.
For the United Arab Emirates he has been involved across the 2022 and 2026 World Cup cycles and was part of squads used in qualifiers and major Asian fixtures. In a national team that has often looked for balance behind talented attackers, Khaled provides the conservative full-back profile needed to protect transitions.
At around 1.77 m, Khaled is a right-footed defender most naturally used at right-back. He is not a showy overlapping specialist, but his concentration, recovery speed and crossing from settled positions make him comparable to Bandar Al-Ahbabi in domestic terms, or a more restrained version of Cesar Azpilicueta as a defence-first wide defender.
