Mohammad Abdel-Motalib Yousef Aburiziq (ar|محمد عبد المطلب يوسف ابو رزق; born 1 February 1999), popularly known as Pogba (ar|بوغبا), is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Jordanian Pro League side Al-Salt, on loan from Al-Wehdat, and the Jordan national team.
He began his professional career with Al-Baqa'a.[1]
Aburiziq was on his way to move to Al-Hussein during the 2022 Jordanian Pro League season, after he had terminated his contract, but Al-Baqa'a appealed the decision when he tore his ACL during the AFC U-23 Asian Cup so that the player would return to the club.[2]
Aburiziq was the center of a contractual dispute during his season-long injury break, between his parent club Al Baqa'a, Al-Hussein, and Al-Wehdat, which lasted until the following season.[3]
Aburiziq signed a 4-year contract with Al-Wehdat in late April 2023.[4]
On 21 May 2024, Al-Wehdat manager Ra'fat Ali suspended Aburiziq from team practices, as well as suspend his finances, as a result of failing to meet team practices and take the club's principles into account.[5]
On 25 July 2024, Aburiziq signed a season-long loan deal with Al-Salt, as a result of Ra'fat Ali suspending him from Al-Wehdat practices.[6]
He scored a brace on his league debut against Shabab Al-Ordon in a 2–1 victory.[7] [8]
Aburiziq was a youth international for Jordan, having represented the Jordanian under-23 team at the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup.[9] He tore his ACL during the tournament, which required him to have a surgery on 6 July 2022. The injury also prevented him from making his potential move to Al-Hussein.[10]
On 10 March 2024, Aburiziq was called up to the Jordan national football team for their World Cup qualifying campaign against Pakistan,[11] which he made his debut on March 26 in a 7–0 victory.
