==Early life and club career==
Mohammed al-Deayea was born in [[Ḥaʼil|Hail]] into a family passionate about sports. He initially started as a [[handball]] goalkeeper for [[al-Tai FC]] at eight years old but switched to [[association football|football]] following a recommendation from the club's junior football coach. He joined al-Tai SFC's junior team in 1988, impressing enough to earn a spot on the Saudi junior national team. With this team, he triumphed at the [[1989 FIFA U-16 World Championship|FIFA U-16 World Championship]] in Scotland in 1989. He progressed to the youth national team and by 1993, he was playing for the senior Saudi national team.

Al-Deayea played a pivotal role in the national team's qualification for the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]] in the [[United States]], where he excelled. In 1999, [[Al Hilal SFC|al-Hilal SFC]] acquired him in a high-profile transfer, and he defended their goal until retiring in 2010, capping a twenty-two-year career. A testimonial match was organized in 2012 to honor his contributions, featuring a game between Italy's [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] and al-Hilal SFC.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-08-28 |title=Mohammed al-Deayea |url=https://saudipedia.com/en/article/2247/figures/athletes/mohammed-al-deayea |access-date=2024-09-27 |website=Saudipedia |language=en}}</ref>

Al-Deayea has split his professional career between the clubs [[Al-Ta'ee]] and [[Al-Hilal FC|Al-Hilal]]. Originally, he started as a handball player, but was convinced by his club and his older brother [[Abdullah Al-Deayea|Abdullah]] to become a professional footballer. Mohammed was under great pressure of expectations in the beginning of his career because his brother Abdullah was an [[AFC Asian Cup]] winner and a highly reputed goalkeeper.

==Retirement==
On 22 June 2010, Mohamed Al-Deayea announced his retirement from football at the age of 37. On 5 January 2012, a testimonial match for him was organised between his club Al-Hilal and [[Juventus FC|Juventus]], with 70,000 people attending at the [[King Fahd Stadium]]. The match ended 7–1 in favour of Juventus with Al-Hilal's sole goal coming from [[Saad Al-Harthi]]. Juventus' goals were scored by [[Alessandro Del Piero]] (twice), [[Eljero Elia]], [[Arturo Vidal]], [[Giorgio Chiellini]], [[Simone Pepe]] and [[Fabio Quagliarella]].
