After not appearing in either the 1986 or the 1988 Arabian Gulf Cups, Saeed played in the 1988 President's Cup Football Tournament where he scored three goals; Iraq were knocked out in the quarter-finals. Saeed returned to the Gulf Cup in the 10th Arabian Gulf Cup in Kuwait in 1990. Iraq won their first game against Bahrain 1–0 and drew their second game with Kuwait 1–1. They drew again in their third match against the UAE 2–2 draw. Iraq withdrew from the tournament after the game with the UAE, because of the refereeing, which was Saeed's last match in his football career before he decided to retire at the age of 32 in the same year.
