International Career
Yasser played in the 2007 Gulf Cup, held in the United Arab Emirates in late January. Qatar team did not win, but Hussein impressed many. There was a request for him to enter one of the Emirati clubs, but he said that he still had a contract with Al-Rayyan and was not thinking far into the future.
He was called up to the Qatar squad for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, held on home soil. He featured in the hosts' first game against Uzbekistan, but was substituted later on as his team lost 2–0. He was an unused substitute for Qatar's other two group games against China and Kuwait in which they emerged victorious. He was later kicked out of the Qatar squad because he missed training and displayed a poor attitude. He has not been called up to the Qatar squad since being excluded.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
