Early life

Omar Abdulrahman was born in Riyadh, growing up there in a working-class environment. His father Abdulrahman Ahmed was a former player, he has two older sisters and three older brothers, Ahmad, Khaled and Mohammed. He spent sometimes playing soccer in Riyadh neighborhoods.

He drew attention from scout Abdulrahman Eissa who saw him by chance at Al Malaz yard near Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium and asked about the club that he played for. The answer was that he was not playing for any club and also did not hold Saudi nationality. After Abdulrahman Eissa began to contact him and his brother, he then began participating in tournaments and courses alongside Yahya Al-Shehri.

In 2000, he went on a trial with Al Hilal who were interested in signing him. However, as full Saudi nationality was only offered to him and not his entire family, his father rejected the offer.

Then a call came to Abdulrahman Eissa's friend Ahmed Al Garoon from Honorary member of Al Ain, Nasser bin Thaloub who was searching for young talented players. Abdulrahman Eissa told him about Abdulrahman's talent and his brothers Mohammed and Khalid. He asked for their passports and they joined the external Al Ain camp in Germany. Al Ain agreed to grant citizenship to his whole family who then moved to the United Arab Emirates. Abdulrahman joined the club with two of his brothers and enrolled in Al Ain's youth academy.{{cite news |title=Abdulrahman Eissa: I discovered (Amoory) and not Al Jaber!!|url=http://www.alyaum.com/article/3068303|newspaper=Al Yaum|date=13 January 2013|access-date=22 February 2013}}
