Official: Nikola Vasily Joins Al-Dar'iya as Goalkeeper

Al-Dhariyah has finalized the contract with Bosnian international goalkeeper Nikola Vasily, arriving from St. Pauli in Germany, to strengthen the goalkeeping position ahead of the new season.

Vasily's arrival at Al-Dhariyah is part of the club's strategy to build a strong squad, combining international experience with players capable of providing a clear technical advantage during the Roshan Saudi League competitions.

The Bosnian goalkeeper is 30 years old and serves as the first-choice keeper for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. He participated with his country in the 2026 World Cup, which was held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Vasili had a professional stint with St. Pauli in Germany, after previously representing Zorya Luhansk in Ukraine and Nürnberg in Germany, accumulating diverse experiences in European football.

The Bosnian keeper featured in 36 matches with St. Pauli last season, managing to keep a clean sheet in 6 encounters, solidifying his presence as a key player in the team.

Diriyah hopes the new signing will bring more stability to their goal, especially as the club looks to make a strong impression in the upcoming season and benefit from the experience of a goalkeeper who has competed at the highest international levels.

Diriyah's management continues its efforts to bolster the squad with outstanding players, in preparation for the upcoming challenges, as the club aims to build a competitive team capable of achieving its goals in the new season.
