Ali Iyad Ali Olwan (Arabic: علي إياد علي علوان; born 26 March 2000) is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Malaysia Super League club Selangor and the Jordan national team.[3]
Club career
[edit]Olwan was a product of Amman based clubs Al-Wehdat and later Al-Jazeera. In July 2020, he was promoted to Al-Jazeera's first time at the age of 18.[4][5]
Al-Shamal
[edit]In January 2022, Olwan joined Qatar Stars League club Al-Shamal in a 2.5 years contract for a reported transfer fee of €200,000.[6]
Selangor
[edit]Following his expiring contract with Al-Shamal, Olwan moved abroad to Malaysia and joined Malaysia Super League club Selangor on 5 August 2024, joining fellow countrymen Noor Al-Rawabdeh and Reziq Bani Hani at the club.[7]
International career
[edit]In 12 November 2020, Olwan made his international debut with Jordan national team in a goalless friendly draw against Iraq.
On 6 October 2021, Olwan scored his first professional career hat-trick in a 4–0 win against Malaysia.
In November 2021, Olwan participated in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup, reaching the quarter-finals with Jordan.[8]
In January 2024, Olwan was named in Jordan's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup that reached the final.[9] He started in all three group stage games and then in two knockout stage games against Iraq and Tajikistan, before missing out the semi-finals due to yellow card accumulation.[10] Despite having no goals during the competition, Olwan's ability to hold the ball and dribble in tight spaces made him a threat to the opponent's defense, liberating spaces for his teammates to score.[11]
