He was in the squad of UAE team in the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy but never played in the tournament.

Editorial summary

“Abdullah Musa” enters the record as emirati footballer. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Abdullah, Musa and Emirati can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1958, 1990—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1961-07-07, 1958-03-02—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Abdullah, Musa and Emirati.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Abdullah Musa” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Abdullah, Musa and Emirati provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1984175. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1958 and 1990.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
