Ali Iyad Ali Olwan (Arabic: علي إياد علي علوان; born 26 March 2000) is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Qatari club Al-Shamal and the Jordan national team.[3]
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]
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]
In 12 November 2020, Olwan made his international debut with Jordan national team in a goaless friendly draw against Iraq.
In November 2021, Olwan participated in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup, reaching the quarter-finals with Jordan.[7]
In January 2024, Olwan was named in Jordan's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10]
