Sayed Mahdi Baqer Jaafar Mahdi Naser (Arabic: سَيِّد مَهْدِيّ بَاقِر جَعْفَر مَهْدِيّ نَاصِر; born 14 April 1994) is a Bahraini footballer who plays as a defender for Riffa and the Bahrain national team.[3]

International career

[edit]

Baqer made his senior international debut on 7 October 2016 in a 3–1 friendly victory over Philippines.[4] Baqer was included in Bahrain's squad for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.[2]

On 14 November 2019, Baqer made a "slit eye" gesture towards the Hong Kong fans in the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match between Hong Kong and Bahrain.[5] On 19 December 2019, FIFA banned Baqer for 10 matches and fined him CHF 30,000 as a punishment for his "discriminatory behaviour".[6]
