Club career[edit]
Al-Deayea has split his professional career between the clubs Al-Ta'ee and Al-Hilal. Originally he started as a handball player, but was convinced by his club and his older brother Abdullah to become a footballer. Mohammed was under great pressure in the beginning of his career because of having to wear the shoes of his brother Abdullah, who was an AFC Asian Cup winner and a highly reputed goalkeeper too.
Retirement[edit]
On the 22nd of June 2010, Mohamed Al-Deayea announced his retirement from football at the age of 37. On 5 January 2012, Al-Hilal held a testimonial match for Al-Deayea against the Italian club Juventus F.C.
