Fathi Kameel Matar Marzouq (Arabic: فتحي كميل مطر مرزوق; born 23 May 1955) is a Kuwaiti former footballer who played in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He helped Kuwait qualify to the World Cup in 1982 by scoring a goal against New Zealand. Fathi also helped Kuwait win the Asian Cup in 1980. He was joint top-scorer at the 1976 AFC Asian Cup with three goals.[2] He also played for Kuwait at the 1980 Summer Olympics.[3] It is said that Fathi would usually be on the bench (as a secret weapon) and that, whenever he warmed up to play, the crowd cheered him loudly.
