International career

After his performance with goals against Zambia and Spain in the 2007 U-20 World Cup, he was offered a position to play on the Jordanian senior team and accepted the offer. Abdallah's first international match with the Jordan national team (for men) was against Bahrain in a friendly international on September 7, 2007 in Muharraq, when Jordan won 3-1.

Abdallah, along with his teammate Odai Al-Saify, were the first Jordanian football players to play in Europe, as well as the UEFA Cup, in Jordanian history. Both of these two players from the Jordanian club of Shabab Al-Ordon who began in 2009, Abdallah in KV Mechelen of Belgium, and Odai in the Greek club of Skoda Xanthi F.C.. But after a year in the Mechelen Club, Abdallah returned to the Jordan league and the club of Shabab Al-Ordon.

Abdallah was awarded top scorer of the 2011 Pan Arab Games football tournament, scoring two goals against Palestine in group stage and two goals against Kuwait in the semifinals.

Abdallah was seeking to take proficiency in Thailand for the season 2012-2013, and was very close to signing up to play in one of the clubs there, until he realized he would have to live there. He changed his mind and refused to play there due to some difficult living conditions. So he decided to stay home in Jordan, sticking to playing with Al-Wahdat.
