Haytham Moussa Faour (Arabic: هيثم موسى فاعور; born 27 February 1990) is a Lebanese footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for club Shabab Sahel. He is known for his tackling and defensive reading of the game.[2]

Faour joined Ahed in 2009 and became one of the team's main players, winning the Lebanese Golden Ball in 2015.[3] He also captained them to an AFC Cup win in 2019, helping Ahed become the first Lebanese club to win the title. Faour represented Lebanon internationally from 2011 to 2019, playing 58 games and retiring as one of the national team's most-capped players.

Ahed

On 2 October 2013, it was reported that Faour had signed for Iraqi club Al-Naft on a loan deal worth $140,000.[4] [5] [6] After playing a friendly game for the club, the manager cancelled the transfer as he stated that he was looking for a "more attacking-minded midfielder".[7] [8]

On 31 May 2023, after having played 16 years at Ahed, Shabab Sahel announced the signing of Faour on a three-year contract.[9]

Faour's debut for the national team came on 17 August 2011, in a 3–2 friendly defeat against Syria at home.[10] In December 2018, he was called up for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup squad.[11] Faour played the first two group stage games, against Qatar and Saudi Arabia. On 24 July 2019, he announced his retirement from international football.[12]
