Mini bio
How it started.
Kanno grew up in Al Khobar and began playing senior football with Al Ettifaq in 2013. His older brother Abdullah also became a professional footballer. After establishing himself at Ettifaq, Mohamed moved to Al Hilal in July 2017.
A bigger stage.
His Al Hilal career brought individual recognition when he won Best Saudi Player at the 2018/19 Saudi Professional League Awards. In November 2022, he started Saudi Arabia’s 2-1 World Cup win over Argentina, a match he later recalled to FIFA as one of the greatest moments of his career.
Club and country.
Kanno continues to play in midfield for Al Hilal and Saudi Arabia. His 2025 Arab Cup included two goals against Comoros and the extra-time winner against Palestine. In his 2026 FIFA interview, he spoke about the motivation he gets when his family comes to watch him play.
