Club career

[edit | edit source]

On 9 February 2015, Jebali was announced at Värnamo on a two year contract.[3]

On 18 July 2016, Jebali was announced at Elfsborg on a three and a half year contract.[4] On 23 March 2017, he signed a new four year contract with the club through the 2021 season.[5]

On 8 August 2018, Jebali was announced at Rosenborg on a four year contract, after scoring 5 goals and registering 5 assists with Elfsborg.[6]

In January 2019, Jebali signed for Al-Wehda.[7] Al-Wehda and Jebali received criticism from Rosenborg as a response to Al-Wehda appearing to announce the signing of Jebali before a deal with Rosenborg was actually finalised.[8]

On 30 July 2019, it was confirmed that Jebali had joined Danish Superliga club Odense Boldklub on a three-year contract.[9] In September 2020, he scored four goals in three matches, and his performances led to him being named as the Danish Superliga Player of the Month.[10]

On 5 January 2023, Jebali officially joined Japanese side Gamba Osaka for an estimated transfer fee of 7.5 million Danish krones (around one million euros), signing a three-year contract with the club.[11][12][13]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Jebali was called up to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations after Firas Ben Larbi withdrew due to injury.[14]

During the Kirin Cup, Jebali scored his first international goal against Chile on 10 June 2022, scoring in the 89th minute.[15]

Jebali was called up to the Tunisia squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[16]
