Mohamed Noureddine Abdusalam Zubya (Arabic: محمد نور الدين عبد السلام زعبية; born March 20, 1989) is a Libyan footballer who plays for Al-Ittihad Tripoli.

Club career

Born in Tripoli, he was playing with Aschat SC when he moved in 2006 to Al-Ittihad where he stayed until 2011 and where he won 4 successive Libyan Premier League championships.

In 2007 Zubya was handed a one-year ban by CAF[1] for trying to assault the assistant referee in his side's CAF Champions League match against FAR Rabat of Morocco. He returned after a six-month suspension and scored two goals.[2] in the Libyan SuperCup final against Al Akhdar.

In August 2011, Zubya sign for Al Arabi Kuwait.[3]

On June 11, Zubya agreed a four-year contract with Serbian team Partizan. After passing medical exams and after reaching an agreement with Al-Arabi, Zubya officially signed on June 12 and was prepared to join his new teammates as it was designated as priority by Partizan manager Vladimir Vermezović to have the team complete as soon as possible to start preparing the team for the UEFA Champions League qualification which were a little more than a month away.[4]

Zubya made his debut for Partizan in club's first official match of the season, on July 17, 2012, in a 2012–13 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first-leg match, away, against Valletta.[5]

Zubya was released from his Partizan contract in January 2013.[6]

In November 2013, Zubya sign for JS Kabylie.[7]

He then played with Esperance Sportive de Tunis in the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1.[8]

In April 2023, Zubya was kidnapped by an armed group, says the human rights committee in Libya.https://www.tuniscope.com/article/355012/actualites/international/joueur-libye-542509.
