Omar El-Zein (born 12 August 1985 in Lebanon) is a German footballer.

Career

After spending half a season with his first few clubs and scoring 65 goals in one season with amateurs Dostluk Spor Osterode, El-Zein decided to play professionally in Azerbaijan with FK Standard Sumgayit.[1] However, he left after making 4 appearances and one goal[1] due to a change in head coach, who only used local players. In 2010, El-Zein claimed that he regretted that move[2] and that "it [Azerbaijan] was a waste of time".[1]

In 2013, he signed for FSV Wacker 90 Nordhausen in the German Regionalliga, scoring 6 goals in 18 league appearances[3] before playing for 3 more Regionalliga sides.

As a freestyler, El-Zein was nicknamed "Omardinho" after Brazilian international Ronaldinho and once came 2nd in a nationwide freestyle competition.[2]
