Hussein Omar Abdulghani Sulaimani (Arabic: حسين عمر عبد الغني السليماني; born 11 December 1977 in Jeddah) is a Saudi Arabian football player who currently plays as a defender for Al-Nassr. As of today, he is one of the longest-tenured and most experienced Saudi footballers.
He started playing football in 1992 and joined the Al-Ahli junior club until 1995. That same year, he became a professional player and stayed at the club until 2008. He then moved to Swiss based Neuchâtel Xamax staying for a year. He made 13 appearances without scoring. His transfer to Europe had made him the third Saudian footballer to play in Europe, after Sami Al-Jaber and Fahad Al-Ghesheyan. In 2009, he returned to Saudi Arabia to play for Al-Nassr.
