Early in his career, he was considered to be one of the most promising players to emerge from Qatar.[4] Akram has been named in a three-man shortlist for the Asian Football Confederation’s men's player of the year for bringing the 2019 Asian Cup to Qatar.[5] He won the Asian Footballer of the Year award in 2019.[6]
Familial history
[edit]Afif was born in Doha to a Somali father, Hassan Afif and a Yemeni mother.[7][8][9] After Akram's father retired from playing, he managed Al-Gharafa from 1986 till 1987 and Al-Markhiya from 2001 till 2003 and 2006 till 2007.[10][11]
Club career
[edit]Akram started off in the youth teams of Al-Markhiya and then Al Sadd before joining the Aspire Academy as a full-time student in 2009. During his time at Aspire, Afif traveled to Spain on an exchange student program and played for the youth teams of Sevilla and Villarreal.[12][13]
He represented Sevilla in the 2013 Al Kass International Cup, netting a brace and earning an assist in the team's first match, which ended as a 3–0 victory against Aspire Academy.[14]
Afif later joined Villarreal's youth team.[15]

Afif finished his first senior season with two goals in nine matches. On 18 March 2016, he scored a brace in a 4–0 home win against KSV Roeselare.

Afif made his debut in the main category of Spanish football on 21 August 2016, coming on as a substitute for Burgui in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao.[21] After nine league matches, he returned to his first senior club Eupen on a one-year loan deal on 14 July 2017.[22] He went back to his home country in January 2018 to play for Al Sadd where he had a very successful season.
