Ayman Hussein Ghadhban Al-Mafraje (Arabic: أيمن حسين غضبان المفرجي; born 22 March 1996), nicknamed Abu Tubar (The Hatchet Man),[3] is an Iraqi professional footballer who plays as a striker for Qatar Stars League side Al-Khor and the Iraqi national team. A prolific goal-scorer, he is currently Iraq's 5th all time top goal scorer.

Club career

[edit]

In 2009, Hussein was spotted as a gifted teenager with his local team and it was because of a local resident who was also a board member at the Al-Alam SC who recommended the player to his club. He played for youth Al-Alam in the provincial league, and for the first team and then moved to Tuz FC, and with no club from Kirkuk in the top divisions in the Iraqi league, Aymen took the unorthodox route in his attempts into getting into a top flight of the Iraqi Premier League by signing for Gas Al-Shamal a club which was then in the second tier of the Kurdistan League, a division formed of primarily reserve players from the top Kurdish clubs.[4]

Duhok

[edit]

At the end of the season 2012–13, Hussein was offered the opportunity to play in the Iraqi Premier League for the first time when he was contacted by the assistant coach of Duhok, Khalid Mohammed Sabbar and was offered a lucrative contract to play for the club which Hussein said he agreed to immediately amid “great joy” working under the former Iraq captain and the two renowned coaches Syrian Fajr Ibrahim and Thair Ahmed during his spell with Duhok.

He appeared only a few times for Duhok scoring one goals in the first stage of the season, however with salaries going unpaid for months at the cash-strapped club feeling the full ramifications of the financial crisis which had hit the Kurdistan region, Hussein made the decision to try his luck in Baghdad. He had been one of six players at Duhok released due to their financial troubles during the latter part of the 2014.[5]

Al Naft

[edit]

Hussein transferred to Al-Naft in winter 2015.[6] His breakthrough season came in the 2016–17 season for Al Naft, where he scored 12 goals in 10 games launching Al Naft to the top of the league, before an injury prevented him sidelined all the way from February[7] till May.[8] Al Naft continued on their impressive set of results and ended up finishing as the league runners up, which is their best ever result.[9]

Al Shorta

[edit]

On 22 August 2017, Hussein signed for Iraqi giants Al Shorta,[10] to replace Marwan Hussein. He made his debut on 21 November, scoring in the matchday one fixture against Karbalaa FC.[11] He scored twice in his second game, a 4–1 win over Al-Bahri,[12][13] he then scored in two more games, to extend his scoring record to four games in a row.[14] On the fifth game,[15][16] Hussein missed a last-minute penalty to end his goal-scoring streak.[17] Aymen would then leave the Al-Shorta to join the Iraqi U-23 side in the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship in China, despite the club's objections. After his return from the national team, Al Shorta released him from his contract as he was set to join Qatari side Al Ahli, however negotiations fell through in the final stages. He then returned to his former club Al Naft, despite Al Shorta insisting his release was conditional on him joining Al Ahli.

Return to Al Naft

[edit]

On 2 February 2018, Hussein returned to his former club Al-Naft[18] with his favorite coach Hassan Ahmed.[19] Hussein started his first match with Al Naft against Al-Hudood FC, he missed a penalty[20] and another against Naft Al-Wasat.[21] After five games he scored goal against Al-Talaba in the 1–0 victory in April and continued to score.[22] He finished his season with Al Naft with 11 goals in 22 matches in the league.[23] The team finished in 3rd position. He was released from Al-Naft after the game against CS Sfaxien 1–1,[24] because of disagreements.[25][26][27]

CS Sfaxien

[edit]

On 15 September 2018, Tunisian club Sfaxien announced on the last day of the summer transfer window the signing of Hussein on a three-year contract.[28] Hussein was set to be paid 450,000 dollars per season. He did not make any appearances in the first half of the season due to a paperwork error, rendering him ineligible to play competitive games for the side.[29] He made his first appearances in the Tunisian league in February 2019. Aymen struggled to get consistent gametime, mainly due to his lack of match fitness after missing the first half of the season. In July 2019, Aymen requested his release from Sfaxien due to the lack of playing time, and expressed his wishes to return to Iraq [30] Aymen's contract was terminated by mutual consent, but he did not receive a compensation payment. He then sued the club, and FIFA ruled in his favor, ordering the Tunisian side to pay him 50,000 US dollars.[31]

Al Quwa Al Jawiya

[edit]

On 5 August 2018, Aymen officially returned to the Iraqi league, joining Al Quwa Al Jawiya on a one-year contract.[32] On 22 February 2020, he scored his first hat-trick with the club in a 3–0 victory against Al-Sinaat Al-Kahrabaiya SC.[33] The season was suspended due to the October protests in Baghdad and then cancelled all together due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The following season, Aymen had his best year yet, scoring 22 goals to end the season as the top goal scorer, leading his club to the title.[34] It was the first league title of Aymen's career, as well as his first golden boot award. Following this successful season, Aymen received attention from clubs abroad, including Egyptian giants Al Ahly, and clubs in Algeria, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates,[35] and the striker stated his intention to try playing overseas once again.[36]

Umm Salal

[edit]

In summer 2021, Hussein joined Umm Salal in Qatar.[37] Aymen scored 11 goals in 22 matches, averaging a goal every other game in the Qatrai league. He finished as the league's 5th highest top goal scorer, and helped Umm Salal secure a 6th place finish.[38] In July of 2022, Umm Salal announced that the player will not be renewed, and thanked the player for his services.[39]

Al Markhiya and Al Jazira

[edit]

In July 2022, newly-promoted side Al Markhiya signed Aymen Hussein, to keep the player in Qatar.[40] Aymen led his side to a shocking win over Qatari giants Al Sadd, after scoring 2 goals and assisting another in a 4–3 victory, which marked his side's first ever league win over Al-Sadd.[41] The following week he scored once again to rescue a point for his team against Qatar SC.[42] Aymen was given permission to join the Iraqi national team during the Arabian Gulf Cup, despite the league season still ongoing.[43] Due to his great performance in the first half of the season, which was followed up by being the joint top goal scorer in the Arabian Gulf Cup tournament, Aymen attracted the attention of Emirati giants Al Jazira.[44]

On 7 February 2023, Aymen Hussein joined Al Jazira on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[45] He was meant to be a replacement for the club's captain and talisman Ali Mabkhout, who was set to leave the club in order to complete his mandatory service with the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces.[46] However, the player's service was delayed, meaning he was able to finish the season with his club. This led to Aymen struggling for playtime as he only featured 6 times, mainly off the bench. He scored his only goal vs Al Bataeh Club. The team finished in fifth position, 9 points away from winner Shabab Al Ahli. On 24 May, Aymen's contract was terminated by mutual consent.[47]

Raja CA and return to Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya

[edit]

On 23 August 2023, Hussein signed a renewable one-year contract with Moroccan side Raja CA.[48] Aymen found it difficult to adapt in Morocco, and struggled with his form.[49] He also struggled personally as the strained diplomatic relations between Iraq and Morocco made it difficult to get the paperwork necessary to relocate his family to Morocco, he thus asked for his release but was persuaded to stay by mangment.[50] After failing to score in his first 5 games and repeated attempts to relocate his family had failed, he once again requested that his contract be terminated, and was granted his release by the Moroccan club[51].The club went on to win the Moroccan title that season.

In October 2023, Aymen returned to Al Quwa Al Jawiya in Iraq.[52] Aymen has his best goal scoring season of his career, scoring 27 goals in the league campaign, winning the Iraqi golden boot for a second time. However, his season had a bitter end, as his team fell short to local rivals Al-Shorta in both the league and the cup, finishing runners up to them on both occasions.

Al Khor

[edit]

On July 16th 2024, Qatari side Al Khor SC announced that they have signed Ayemn Hussein on a two-year deal [53] This marked the third club in Qatar that Ayemn Hussein has signed for. He joined the club late for pre-season due to his partcipation with Iraq in the Olympic games,[54] regardless he started his first game two days later, in a goalless draw against Al-Gharafa.[55] He suffered a rib injury during the first international break of the season, which kept him out of action for a month, missing 3 league games for Al-Khor.

International career

[edit]

Iraq U23

[edit]

Hussein first represented Iraq in 2015, also playing for the U23 Iraqi team. He was called up to the 2016 AFC U-23 Championship in Qatar.[56] He scored the winning goal in the third-place playoff match against Qatar, which won Iraq the bronze medal and sent them to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games,[57][58] Hussein was injured in a friendly match with the senior team against Syria on 18 March 2016, preventing him from going to the Olympics.

The following year, Hussein was present at the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship qualification, he scored 5 goals in the first match against Afghanistan.[59] He also scored another goal against Saudi Arabia, to ensure that Iraq won all three games and qualified for the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship.[60] Hussein scored twice in three games in the tournament, as Iraq went out in the quarter-finals.

Aymen Hussein was called up to the Iraqi U23 side participating in the 2024 Summer Olympics as one of the three overage players.[61] He scored a penalty in a 2–1 win against Ukraine,[62] and a header against Argentina in the group stage as Iraq finished bottom of their group with 3 points.[63]

Senior team

[edit]

On 26 August 2015, Hussein earned his first international cap,[64] playing against Lebanon in a friendly match. He scored his first goal against the United Arab Emirates on September 5, 2017, in a 1–0 victory in a World Cup qualifying match.[65] Iraq failed to qualify to the world cup, finishing 5th in their group in the final round.

He was called up to the 23rd Arabian Gulf Cup, where Iraq ended up reaching the semi-finals. He was also part of the side in the 2019 WAFF Championship, where Iraq lost in the final to Bahrain on home soil.

Following two back to back major injuries for Mohanad Ali, Aymen became Iraq's starting striker in the 2022 World cup qualifiers. He scored three goals in the qualifiers, against the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Syria, however Iraq failed to qualify to the world cup.[66]

In 2021, Aymen Hussein was called up the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup. In a bizarre incident, Iraq's manager, Željko Petrović, got on the field and forcibly removed Aymen from re-taking a last minute penalty against Oman.[67] Iraq were knocked out from the group stage.

Aymen secured his first title with his country by winning the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup, hosted on home soil.[68] He finished the tournament as the joint top scorer, netting three goals alongside Ibrahim Bayesh.[69] He was called up to the 2023 King's Cup, a friendly tournament hosted in Thailand, which Iraq won.

In December 2023, he was named in the Iraqi squad for the Asian Cup in Qatar.[70] Aymen scored in all three group stages matches, including a brace in a 2–1 victory over Japan which qualified his country to the knockout stages of the Asian tournament. That match also recorded the first win for Iraq against Japan since the 1982 Asian Games.[71][72] In the round of 16 match against Jordan, he scored a goal to grant his team a 2–1 lead, before receiving a controversial second yellow card for his celebration, in a match ended in a shock 3–2 defeat for Iraq with Jordan scoring two goals in the stoppage time.[73]

On 5 September 2024, he scored the decisive goal in a 1–0 victory over Oman during the third round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification. During the match, he sustained an injury that caused internal bleeding and was later taken to Kuwait for treatment.[74]

Style of play

[edit]

Hussein is seen as the typical complete forward who can play up front. Not seen as the most versatile, but he is a natural goal scorer. Aymen is often deployed as a target man, tasked with holding up the ball, being physical with defenders, and being in the box for crosses.[75] Aymen is also known for his work-rate, being able to press defenders and capitalize on their mistakes.

Since 2015, he has been seen as the best heir to former international striker Younis Mahmoud.

Personal life

[edit]

Hussein was born in the rural village of Al-Safra in the Hawija district of Kirkuk, which had been controlled by ISIS and was the scene of coalition air-strikes from 2014 to 2017.[76][58] Insurgents have frequently targeted oil pipelines in the village since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, with car bombs, suicide bombings and improvised explosive device (IED) blasts becoming a normal part of life for Hussein. His father, an officer in the Iraqi Army, was killed on duty by an al-Qaeda attack in 2008.[58] His brother was kidnapped by ISIS and his whereabouts are still unknown,[58] while he and his family became internally displaced within Iraq since 2014.[77][5]
