Omar Salah Mohammad Al-Osad (Arabic: عمر صلاح العصاد; born 18 April 2003), commonly known as Omar Salah (Arabic: عمر صلاح), is a Jordanian footballer who plays for Qatar Stars League club Al-Wakrah and the Jordan national under-23 football team.

Club career

[edit]

Al-Wehdat

[edit]

Born in Jordan, Salah is a youth product of Al-Wehdat.[1] He was promoted to the senior team on 28 August 2022, under manager Didier Gomes.[2] After impressing with the club,[3] he began attracting offers from Al-Hussein and Al-Faisaly.[4][5] He would also attract offers from Qatar and later agree on a deal to sign with Al-Wakrah.[6][7] Salah would reject the local offers out of respect to Al-Wehdat.[8]

Al-Wakrah

[edit]

On 19 June 2023, Qatar Stars League club Al-Wakrah purchased Salah from Al-Wehdat for $140 thousand, with Salah signing a one-year contract in the process.[9][10][11] He was announced as a signing the following month.[12] He was noted for having a successful season with the club, winning the 2024 Qatar Cup in the process.[13][14]

On 9 June 2024, Salah signed a 5-year extension with the club.[15][16] On 31 August 2024, Salah would record a hat-trick for Al-Wakrah, during a Qatari Stars Cup match against Al-Khor.[17]

International career

[edit]

Salah is a youth international for Jordan, having first represented the Jordanian under-18 team.

On 26 December 2023, it was reported that Al-Wakrah did not permit Salah from joining the Jordan national under-23 football team.[18] By 10 April 2024, the Jordan Football Association were waiting for a response from Al-Wakrah regarding Salah's participation in the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup.[19] Al-Wakrah would later explain that his absence was due to him being a key player for the club.[13]

On August 24, the Jordan Football Association issued a statement regarding Salah's absence with the Jordan national football team, alleging that he rejected a call-up to the senior team.[20]

Playing style

[edit]

Salah is described as a player known for his high technical abilities and his vision inside the box.[21]
