Saleh Badr Al-Yazidi (Arabic: صالح بدر اليزيدي; born February 10, 1993) is a football player who plays for Al-Sailiya as a midfielder. Born in Yemen, he has represented Qatar at youth level. His family is descended from the sheikhdom ruled by the Yazidi tribe in Lower Yafa, a historic state in what was then known as the British Aden Protectorate (present-day Yemen). He played football for a team in Yemen in his youth years, and was later a student at the acclaimed Aspire Academy in Qatar. He gained Qatari citizenship in July 2011.[1] His family still lives in Yafa.
