Player's Bio
MLS Experience
2010: Hamid became the youngest goalkeeper in MLS history to win a League contest on 5/5 against Kansas City in a 2-1 victory at RFK Stadium, beating the previous record held by former New York netminder Tim Howard. The 19 year-old was 3-5 in eight games for United, posting one shutout and 20 saves en route to a 1.25 goals against average mark. Hamid made his final appearance of the season against Columbus on 9/4 at RFK Stadium in a 1-0 defeat before undergoing successful season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
2009: Hamid made United history on 9/2/09, when he became the first D.C. United Academy player to sign with the first team. As the first player to come up through the club’s youth system, Hamid was only available for non-League games during the 2009 season and did not see any playing time.
Other Professional Experience
2009: During the summer, Hamid was first choice in goal for the U-17/18 Academy team that compiled a 20-4-5 record and was a finalist in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy.
2008: In May 2008, he traveled to Madrid, Spain with the Black-and-Red youth to take part in the U17 Club World Cup. That same year the U.S. Soccer Development Academy named him to the U-17/18 Mid-Atlantic Starting XI.
2007: After joining the D.C. United Academy in January, he later backstopped the team that won the U17 MLS/SUM Cup in 2007.
International Experience
2008: The goalkeeper also has Youth National Team experience, spending time with the United States U-18 and U-20 sides. In 2008, he traveled to Portugal with the U-20s to play in the Campos Verdes International Tournament and Mexico for the Copa Chivas.

Experiencia MLS
2009: Hamid hizo historia con el United el 2 de septiembre de 2009 al ser el primer jugador de la Academia de D.C. United en fichar con el primer equipo. Al ser un jugador designado como “homegrown”, el joven arquero no estuvo disponible para partidos de Liga, solo podia jugar en otras competencias y por lo tanto no vio tiempo de juego.
Otra Experiencia
2009: Durante el verano, Hamid fue la primera opción en la portería para el equipo Sub-17/18 de la Academia. Acumuló un récord de 20-4-5 y lideró al equipo a la gran final de la Academia de Desarrollo U.S. Soccer.
2008: Durante el mes de mayo, Hamid viajó a Madrid, España con los jóvenes rojinegros para participar de la Copa Mundial de Clubes Sub-17. Ese mismo ano fue nombrado al Onceno Ideal Sub-17/18 del Medio-Atlántico por la Academia de Desarrollo U.S. Soccer.
2007: Se unió a la Academia en enero y fue la primera opción en gol para el United durante la Copa MLS/SUM Sub-17, torneo que ganaron.
Experiencia INTERNACIONAL
2008: El portero también cuenta con experiencia internacional juvenil, pasando tiempo con las Selecciones Sub-18 y Sub-20 de los Estados Unidos. En el 2008, viajó a Portugal con el equipo Sub-20 para jugar en el Torneo Internacional Campos Verdes, y a México para la Copa Chivas.
