Khalid Darwish (Arabic: خالد درويش‎) (born 17 October 1979) is an Emirati footballer. He currently plays for Emirates Club.[1] [2] He is known for his ball controlling skills and excellent passing. He is sometimes nicknamed "Khalidona" after the famous football legend Maradona. The nickname is also a result of being the shortest player in the UAE Football League.
