Mohamad Mahmoud Ghaddar (Arabic: محمد محمود غدار; born 1 January 1984) is a Lebanese former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Coming through the youth system, Ghaddar began his senior career at Nejmeh in 2000. He stayed nine years at the club, winning multiple domestic and individual titles. In 2009, Ghaddar moved abroad, joining Al-Shabab in Bahrain, then Egyptian side Al Ahly in 2010, helping them win the league title. Following stints in Syria at Tishreen in 2010 and Al-Jaish in 2011, Ghaddar moved to Malaysia at Kelantan and FELDA United. He then returned to the Middle East, where he played for Al-Faisaly and Naft Al-Wasat between 2014 and 2017. Ghaddar returned to Kelantan, before moving to Johor Darul Ta'zim, winning the league as the top scorer. Following a second return to Kelantan and a stint at Johor Darul Ta'zim II, he returned to Nejmeh in Lebanon in 2020, where he retired two years later.

Ghaddar made his senior international debut for Lebanon in 2006. He represented his country in the 2010, 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and the 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. Ghaddar also took part in other competitions, namely the 2007 WAFF Championship, 2009 King's Cup and 2009 Nehru Cup. With 19 goals in 46 appearances, Ghaddar is Lebanon's third-highest goalscorer.

Club career

[edit]

Nejmeh

[edit]

Ghaddar started his youth career at Nejmeh on 26 February 1998.[3] After graduating from the youth academy he made his first-team debut two years later,[citation needed] and was a member of the squad that claimed the 1999–00 season title, which was the club's first Lebanese Premier League title for over 20 years.[citation needed] Over the course of the decade, Ghaddar went on to claim another four league titles and pick up successive league top-scorer awards, while cementing his reputation as one of Lebanon's finest strikers.[citation needed]

Al Shabab

[edit]

In December 2009, Ghaddar signed for Bahraini Premier League side Al-Shabab for the 2009–10 season.[4] On 18 March 2010, Ghaddar scored his first goal for Al-Shabab in a 3–1 win over Muharraq.[5] Two weeks later, he scored a brace against Busaiteen in a 3–1 away win on 2 April.[6] On 15 May, Ghaddar scored his second league brace in a 2–1 win against Malkiya.[7] His five goals in six games at the end of the season helped the club avoid relegation to the second division.[8]

Al Ahly

[edit]

Ghaddar signed a four-year-contract with Egypt's Al Ahly for the 2010–11 Egyptian Premier League season, become the first Lebanese player to sign for the Egyptian team.[9] Ghaddar debuted for Al Ahly on 6 August 2010, in a 0–0 draw with Ittihad El-Shorta where he was substituted onto the field for Mohamed Talaat after 76 minutes.[citation needed] He made an appearance during the 2010 CAF Champions League group stage on 12 September 2010, in a 2–1 win against Nigerian side Heartland where he was substituted onto the field for Mohamed Fadl in the 76th minute.[10] Ghaddar was released by the club after just six months of his handful of appearances.[citation needed]

Ghaddar joined 2011 Malaysia Super League champions Kelantan FA on 8 November 2011, signing a two-year contract with the club.[11] After his national team-duty, he officially joined Kelantan on 29 December 2011, scoring a 90th-minute penalty on his first appearance in a 3–1 win against Perak during a pre-season friendly match.[12]

He started the season scoring three goals; however, he was deregistered from Kelantan's Super League squad in February, and replaced by Onyekachi Nwoha.[13] After his impressive performance in the 2012 AFC Cup, scoring six times in four appearances, he was re-registered to the league squad in April, at the expense of Nwoha.[13] He scored on his return to the Super League against PBDKT T-Team, through a penalty in a 2–1 win on 17 April 2012.[14]

Ghaddar helped Kelantan win the Malaysia FA Cup for the first time, beating Sime Darby 1–0 in the final on 19 May 2012. He scored the only goal in the final, converting a penalty in the 58th minute.[15]

FELDA United

After Ghaddar had refused to extend his contract with Kelantan, he signed a one-year contract with FELDA United.[16][17][18] He scored a goal on his debut, which helped his club draw 1–1 against Terengganu in the opening match. In March 2013, Ghaddar experienced a back injury and was unable to play for his team; FELDA decided to replace him and signed a new foreigner player during the April transfer window.[19]

[edit]

Ghaddar made a return to Malaysia Super League after signing a two-year contract with his former club, Kelantan.[citation needed] He scored a brace in his return against Selangor in the opening day of the 2014 season, which Kelantan won 2–1.[citation needed] On 23 April, his contract was terminated by Kelantan.[citation needed]

Johor Darul Ta'zim

[edit]

After much speculation about his future, on 16 May 2017 Johor Darul Ta'zim announced that they had reached an agreement for the transfer of Ghaddar for an undisclosed fee.[citation needed] It was reported that Ghaddar had cost around RM 1,000,000 to RM 5,000,000 and he was reported to be paid from RM 170,000 to RM 200,000 monthly which will make him the highest wage receiver in Malaysia football history.[22][23] Ghaddar made his debut for Johor Darul Ta'zim in a 1–0 win over PKNS, and provided the assist for the winning goal of the match on 24 May 2017.[24]

Ghaddar scored his first goal for Johor Darul Ta'zim in a 2–0 home win over Penang on 1 July 2017.[citation needed] On 15 July 2017, Ghaddar scored two goals in five games as his club defeated Sarawak 3–1.[citation needed] He then scored another two goals on 22 July 2017 against T-Team and, on 26 July 2017, against Perak.[citation needed] Ghaddar concluded his season with five goals in 10 league appearances for Johor Darul Ta'zim.[citation needed]

In November 2017, Melaka United showed their interest in signing Ghaddar on a season-long move.[25] On 22 November 2017, Ghaddar rejected Melaka United's offer.[26] He was released from the club after the 2017 season.[citation needed]

Fourth return to Kelantan

[edit]

On 12 February 2018, Ghaddar returned to Kelantan for a fourth time, before the transfer window closed on 11 February, replacing Morgaro Gomis who was reportedly injured.[27] Ghaddar made his debut in 3–2 win over Perak on 24 February 2018, at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium.[citation needed] After suffering from ACL injuries and a loss of form, his contract was terminated by mutual consent on May.[28]

Johor Darul Ta'zim II

On 12 June 2012, Mohd Amri Yahyah and Mohd Bunyamin Omar physically attacked Ghaddar in a Malaysian Super League match. During the game, Ghaddar was left in pain after Amri Yahyah unsportingly punched his private parts. Ghaddar took a few minutes to recover as he laid on the ground.[37]

Following the incident, Selangor's Amri Yahyah and Bunyamin Omar were handed three-match suspensions and fined RM 1,500 each, while Ghaddar was handed a one-match suspension and fined RM 2,000 by the Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association of Malaysia.[38][39]

Kelantan FA controversy

[edit]

Ghaddar was brought to the disciplinary committee of Kelantan FA after he failed to report to the team on 5 August 2012, for their 2012 Malaysia Cup campaign that would begin on 22 August. He arrived on 16 August, after he had returned to Lebanon to get married after the 2012 Malaysia Super League season ended on 14 July 2012.[40][41]
