Hamza Ali Khaled Al-Dardour (Arabic: حمزة علي خالد الدردور; born 12 May 1991) is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Jordanian club Al-Hussein and the Jordan national team.

Club career

In 2015, Al-Dardour joined Saudi club Al Faisaly.[3] He then played for Kuwait SC[4] and Al-Ramtha in 2016,[5] before joining Al-Wehdat in 2017.[6] In 2020, Al-Dardour returned to Al-Ramtha.[7]

International career

In December 2010, Hamza was named in the Jordanian squad for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.[8] Hamza's first match with Jordan was against Uzbekistan on 2 January 2011, in a friendly which resulted in a 2–2 draw, coming on as a substitute for Hassan Abdel-Fattah.[9]

In the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, Hamza scored four goals against Palestine in a 5–1 win in their second group stage match. It was the only super hat-trick of the tournament, and a writer for The Guardian reported: "It was a pure goal poacher's performance, with three of the strikes coming from tap-ins after perfectly timed runs into the box".[10]

On 31 December 2023, he was called up for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.[11]
