Club career

Al-Nasr

On 3 June 2017, Al-Rawahi extended his contract with Al-Nasr for another two seasons as the Salalah-based club showed faith in one of the country's finest keepers.[2] Soon after the transfer of the club's and Oman national team's first choice keeper, Faiz Al-Rushaidi to Al-Suwaiq Club, Ahmed was promoted as the first choice keeper at Al-Nasr. The young keeper from Muscat did not disappoint and helped The King club win its 5th Sultan Qaboos Cup title defeating Sohar SC 6-5 on penalties after the match had ended 2-2 after extra time.[3][4]

Before the beginning of the 2018-19 season, he also helped his side clinch their maiden Oman Super Cup title winning 4-2 on penalties against Al-Suwaiq after the match had ended 0-0 after normal time.[5][6]

He was part of the Sultanate's squad for the 23rd Arabian Gulf Cup and helped his side win the title for only the second time in early 2018 defeating the United Arab Emirates in the final on penalties following a goalless draw.[8][9][10][11][12][13]
