Mohammad El Hayek


Mohammad Hussein El Hayek is a Lebanese footballer who plays as a full-back for Iraq Stars League club Newroz, on loan from club Nejmeh, and the Lebanon national team.

Club career

On 8 August 2019, Ahed sent El Hayek on a one-year loan to Safa ahead of the 2019–20 Lebanese Premier League season.
He was reportedly sent on a one-year loan to Tadamon Sour for the 2022–23 season. However, it was later discovered that El Hayek's contract with Tadamon was not a loan, as the Lebanese Football Association did not allow clubs to send more than three players on loan at the same time. Instead, the player became a free agent during the 2022 summer transfer window and signed for Tadamon on a one-year contract, with the condition that he would return to Ahed in summer 2023. In July 2023, El Hayek reportedly refused to sign for Ahed. He eventually signed for Bourj on 18 July.
Following the end of his contract at Bourj, Hayek signed a three-year deal with Safa.
On 10 January 2026, Hayek transferred to Nejmeh, who promptly loaned him to Newroz in the Iraq Stars League for the remainder of the 2024–25 season.

International career

El Hayek represented Lebanon at under-23 level, playing at the 2023 WAFF Championship. He made his international senior debut on 30 December 2022, in a 1–0 friendly defeat to the United Arab Emirates.
