Abdul Rahman Weiss (ar|عبدالرحمن ويس; el|Αμπντούλ Ραχμάν Ουές; born 14 June 1998), also known as Abdul Rahman Oues (ar|عبد الرحمن أويس), is a professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Super League Greece 2 club Kalamata. Born in Greece, he represents Syria at international level.
Weiss is a product of the Panathinaikos and Brentford academies and came to prominence at Platanias. Following more than three years as a professional at the club, he later played for Greek clubs OFI, Volos, Athens Kallithea and Kalamata. Weiss was capped by Greece at U21 level and Syria at full international level.
A right-back, Weiss began his career in the academy at Panathinaikos and spent the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons with Brentford Griffins,[1] [2] [3] a community youth team of English club Brentford.[4] He won two National League U19 Alliance titles with the team.[5] [6]
In 2015, Weiss returned to Greece to join the academy at Platanias and progressed to sign a professional contract in February 2017. He was an unused substitute during a late-2016–17 season Super League match and broke into the team during the 2017–18 relegation season,[7] in which he made 17 appearances. Weiss made 29 appearances and scored one goal during the 2018–19 season and was a part of the team which reached the Football League promotion playoffs.[8] He was nominated for the Best Young Player award at the 2018–19 Football League Awards.[9]
During a 2019–20 season affected by military service and the COVID-19 pandemic,[10] Weiss made 16 appearances and scored one goal, before departing the club on 1 July 2020.[11] He made 62 appearances and scored two goals during four years as a professional at the Perivolia Municipal Stadium.
On 8 January 2020, it was announced that Weiss had signed a pre-contract to join Super League club OFI on a four-year contract on 1 July 2020.[12] During a 2020–21 season in which OFI narrowly avoided relegation,[13] he made 34 appearances. During an injury-hit 2021–22 season,[14] Weiss made 12 appearances and departed the club in August 2022.[15] Weiss made 46 appearances during years at the Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium.
On 18 August 2022, Weiss signed a two-year contract with Super League club Volos.[16] He made 14 appearances prior to his contract being terminated by mutual consent on 19 January 2023.
On 20 January 2023, Weiss signed an 18-month contract with Super League Greece 2 club Athens Kallithea.[17] He made 10 appearances and scored one goal during the remainder of a 2022–23 season in which the club narrowly missed promotion to the Super League.[18] Weiss made just seven appearances during the first half of the 2023–24 season, before transferring to Nassaji Mazandaran in February 2024.[19] Ultimately the transfer "could not be concluded due to procedural issues" and Weiss remained with Athens Kallithea.[20] He made five appearances during the club's successful promotion playoff campaign and ended the 2023–24 season with 12 appearances in all competitions.[21] Weiss was released when his contract expired and ended his 18 months at the Grigoris Lamprakis Stadium with 23 appearances and one goal.[22]
On 3 July 2024, Weiss signed a two-year contract with Super League Greece 2 club Kalamata on a free transfer.
Weiss won five caps for the Greece U21 team and was part of the squad which failed to qualify for the 2021 UEFA European U21 Championship.[23] He made his full international debut for Syria with starts in a pair of 2022 World Cup AFC third round qualifiers in September 2021. Weiss was a part of the Syria squad which qualified for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup and he started in each match during the team's run to the round-of-16.
Weiss is of Syrian descent.[24] In August 2019, he undertook military service.[25]
