Abdelelah Faisal (born 27 October 2005) is an Australian association footballer who currently plays for A-League Men club Perth Glory.
Faisal played at National Premier Leagues NSW club Mt Druitt Town Rangers FC where he made appearances in the 2023 Australia Cup, including a starting spot in the teams win over National Premier Leagues ACT club Canberra Croatia FC.[1] He was soon signed by Macarthur FC's academy side Bulls FC Academy, where he showed immense promise for the NSW League One side, scoring back-to-back hat-tricks against Canterbury Bankstown FC in a 6–1 victory,[2] and then in the next competitive fixture against Inter Lions in a 6-0 demolition.[3]
Impressed by his performances in the New South Wales State Leagues, Faisal was one of the first signings by Perth Glory for the 2024-25 A-League Men season.[4] Perth's Football Director, former Socceroo Stan Lazaridis likened him to Egyptian Premier League star Mohamed Salah.[5]
Faisal would repay the faith shown in him immediately, in Perth's 2024 Australia Cup play-off against Brisbane Roar, netting twice as Perth qualified through a 4–2 win in Darwin.[6]
