He scored four times including once in the final against former club Al-Shabab.[5] His good form continued to the next season as Fallatah scored 32 goals in all competitions. His good form earned him a call-up to the national team for the first time since 2012.[6] Fallatah left Al-Ittihad following the expiry of his contract.

Return to Al-Wehda[edit]

On 14 July 2016, Fallatah returned to Al-Wehda on a free transfer. He signed a three-year contract with the club.[7] He scored 16 goals in 23 appearances in the league; however, his efforts were not enough to prevent Al-Wehda's relegation to the First Division.
