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.

Darwish has played in Al Wasl FC since his childhood, throughout the different age group teams. He was loaned to Al Shabab Club during the 2009 Winter Transfer Window,[3] but was brought back to Al Wasl the following summer.[4]

Darwish left Al wasl for Emirates Club on 17 September 2011.
