Alexander Bah

Alexander Bah of Benfica was born in Årslev, Denmark on 9 December 1997 (age 28).

Alexander Bah, born on 9 December 1997 (age 28), is a Denmark international right-back with Benfica, where he wears the No 6 shirt.

His senior career came through Denmark, with his most productive league spell arriving at Sønderjyske in 2020-21. He scored four goals in 12 league appearances that season, a useful return for a full-back rather than anything needing dressed up as reinvention.

Bah has since built his career at Benfica. In 2026-27, he has made eight Liga Portugal appearances, scoring once, along with five in Europa League qualifying and two in the Europa League, where he has also scored. Across all competitions for Benfica this season, he has 15 appearances and two goals.

He has also been involved with Denmark, making two appearances in European World Cup qualifying this season. His career to this point is that of a steady modern right-back: developed in Denmark, established at Benfica, and part of the Danish international set-up.
