Saeb Jendeya (Arabic: صاءب جندية‎) (born May 13, 1975) in Gaza, Gaza Strip is a Palestinian footballer who plays the Libero position for both club and country. He has amassed 70 caps since Palestine's induction into FIFA in 1998. He is the current captain of the Palestinian National Team and has served as captain since 1999, making him one of the most tenured captains in international football in terms of years served. Jendeya has scored one goal with the national team- a midfield shot against Libya in injury-time that leveled the score at 2-2 in the 1999 Pan-Arab Games. This goal allowed Palestine to advance to the knock-out stages where they eventually finished 3rdº.
