Aymen Mouelhi (born 14 September 1986) is a semi-professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Europa.[2] Born in Spain and raised in Tunisia, he plays for the Gibraltar national team, having been naturalised in 2018.

International career

[edit]

Mouelhi made his international debut for Gibraltar on 16 November 2018, coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute for Joseph Chipolina in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D match against Armenia, which finished as a 6–2 loss.[3] After a particularly impressive performance against Norway which saw the minnows restrict the Scandinavians to only 3 goals in a respectable defeat, Mouelhi went viral after he quipped that he "expected more" of the highly rated Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, who he had been tasked with marking throughout the game.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Mouelhi is a fan of FC Barcelona, being born in the Catalan capital. He now works as a security guard.[5]
