After the great disappointment about the results at the soccer World Cup in 2002 , Hamad al-Muntaschari came as a new force on December 17, 2002 for the first time in the Saudi Arabian national team. There he is now a firm support and was already wearing the captain's armband as a substitute. In qualifying for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the defense around him and Nayif al-Qadi was the basis of success and only allowed one goal. In the Saudi Arabian World Cup , he was on the defensive.
He ended his career in 2016.
