• Hammadi, 20, has made a bold first statement with the senior team, showing that giving young players a real chance can reveal talents capable of delivering in decisive moments.

Young striker Mohammad Qassem Hammadi stole the spotlight in Al-Faisaly’s 3–1 win over Al-Baqa’a in Round 16 of the Jordanian Pro League. In his first official senior appearance, he scored twice and set up a third goal, leading his team to a crucial victory.

A debut full of promise

Hammadi’s inclusion in the starting lineup was a bold decision by head coach Abdullah Abu Zema — and the youngster quickly justified that faith with an impressive attacking display that showcased his sharp instincts in front of goal.

He opened the scoring with a clever header, meeting a powerful cross before the goalkeeper could react. His second goal highlighted his composure: he controlled the ball under pressure, shifted quickly to create space, and fired home with confidence that belied his lack of experience.

A talent waiting for his moment

Al-Faisaly supporters had long called for Hammadi to be given a genuine opportunity, given the attacking promise he showed at youth level. Former coach Denis Korić was reportedly impressed by his potential and had recommended promoting him to the first team, but his competitive breakthrough did not come until Abu Zema took charge.

The turning point came in a friendly between the senior squad and the reserves, where Hammadi delivered a standout performance that earned him his long-awaited chance — and he seized it emphatically.

Growing calls for national team recognition

His explosive debut sparked widespread reaction on social media, with many Al-Faisaly fans urging the national team staff to monitor him closely, especially with key competitions approaching.

At just 20 years old, Hammadi has taken his first major step onto the big stage — and if this performance is any indication, he may only be getting started.
