Sayed Baqer
Bahraini footballer
Sayed Mahdi Baqer Jaafar Mahdi Naser (Arabic: سَيِّد مَهْدِيّ بَاقِر جَعْفَر مَهْدِيّ نَاصِر; born 14 April 1994) is a Bahraini footballer who plays as a defender for Riffa and the Bahrain national team.
International career
Baqer made his senior international debut on 7 October 2016 in a 3–1 friendly victory over Philippines. Baqer was included in Bahrain's squad for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
On 14 November 2019, Baqer made a "slit eye" gesture towards the Hong Kong fans in the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match between Hong Kong and Bahrain. On 19 December 2019, FIFA banned Baqer for 10 matches and fined him CHF 30,000 as a punishment for his "discriminatory behaviour".

Why this record matters
The phrase “bahraini footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
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 Jun 6, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q60464625. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2016, 2019 and 2022.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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.
