Ali Iyad Ali Olwan (Arabic: علي إياد علي علوان; born 26 March 2000) is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Iraq Stars League club Al-Karma. He also represents the Jordan national team.[3]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Olwan was a product of Amman based clubs Al-Wehdat and later Al-Jazeera. In July 2020, he was promoted to Al-Jazeera's first time at the age of 18.[4][5]

Al-Shamal

[edit | edit source]

In January 2022, Olwan joined Qatar Stars League club Al-Shamal in a 2.5 years contract for a reported transfer fee of €200,000.[6]

Selangor

[edit | edit source]

Following his expiring contract with Al-Shamal, Olwan moved abroad to Malaysia and joined Malaysia Super League club Selangor on 5 August 2024.[7] On 14 September, Olwan scored on his debut for the club in a 4–0 league win over Kuching City.[8] During the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two fixture against Korean giants Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on 23 October 2024, Olwan scored a goal to secure a 2–1 win for Selangor.

Al-Karma

[edit | edit source]

On 25 July 2025, Olwan joined Iraq Stars League club Al-Karma on a one-year $450,000 contract, with an option for an additional season.[9]

International career

[edit | edit source]

On 12 November 2020, Olwan made his international debut with Jordan national team in a goalless friendly draw against Iraq.

On 4 September 2021, Olwan scored his first international goal against Bahrain at the Bahrain National Stadium. On 6 October 2021, Olwan scored his first professional career hat-trick in a 4–0 win against Malaysia at the Amman International Stadium. A month later, Olwan participated in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup, reaching the quarter-finals with Jordan.[10]

In January 2024, Olwan was named in Jordan's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup that reached the final.[11] He started in all three group stage games and then in two knockout stage games against Iraq and Tajikistan, before missing out the semi-finals due to yellow card accumulation.[12] Despite having no goals during the competition, Olwan's ability to hold the ball and dribble in tight spaces made him a threat to the opponent's defense, liberating spaces for his teammates to score.[13]

On 5 June 2025, he netted his second international hat-trick in a 3–0 away win over Oman during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, securing his nation's first-ever participation in the FIFA World Cup.[14][15]
