Ahmed Khalil is a member of the UAE’s "Golden Generation", winning tickets to the 2012 Olympics.Khalil made his debut for the UAE team when he was only 17 years old. The striker got high form when he helped the UAE become the champions of AFC U19 Championship in 2008, and won two individual titles, the top scorer, and the best player in the tournament. In the national shirt, Khalil also made an impressive achievement when he scored 14 goals in 13 games in 2015, helping the UAE win the Asian Cup bronze medal.

In opposition to the accusations of the Live Sport Asia, striker Ahmed Khalil wrote on his personal page: "Everything is not as the media described.
