Uday Shehab Ahmad (Arabic: عدي شهاب احمد; born 14 June 1997) is an Iraqi footballer who plays as a defender for Al-Shorta in the Iraqi Premier League.[1]
Shehab started his career with Al-Mosul in the 2011–12 Iraqi Elite League, scoring his first goal as a 15-year old against Samaraa on 29 July 2012.[2] After footballing activity in Mosul stopped due to ISIS, Shehab moved to Karah to compete in the Kurdistan League. He joined Ghaz Al-Shamal in 2016 to compete in the 2015–16 Iraqi First Division League Elite Stage, however after playing in a match against Brayati his transfer to Ghaz Al-Shamal was deemed illegitimate due to the transfer window having ended and therefore Ghaz Al-Shamal were awarded a 3–0 loss for the match and Shehab was not allowed to play for them anymore.[3] He joined Zakho before moving to Al-Karkh in the winter transfer window of the 2016–17 season and was called up to the Iraq Olympic team in March 2017.
On 7 June 2019, Shehab made his first international cap with Iraq against Tunisia in an international friendly.[4]
