El-Helwe then moved to Asia in 2021, playing for Al-Faisaly in Jordan, Ahed in Lebanon, and Penang in Malaysia. After one season at Bourj in Lebanon, El-Helwe returned to Germany and joined SGV Freiberg in 2024.

International career

[edit]
El-Helwe (left) with Lebanon during the 2019 AFC Asian Cup game against Saudi Arabia

On 8 October 2015, El-Helwe made his debut for the Lebanon national team, starting in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying 2–0 win against Myanmar.[50] He played as a starter, and was subbed out after 56 minutes.[51] El-Helwe scored his first international goal on 29 March 2016, in Lebanon's home match against Myanmar in the qualifiers, securing a 1–1 draw for his team in the 88th minute.[52]

In December 2023, El-Helwe was included in the Lebanese squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.[57]

Style of play

[edit]

El-Helwe is a versatile striker who can also play as a winger on both sides.[58] Notwithstanding his height of 1.86 m (6.1 ft), which makes him good at holding play, he is a quick player who runs in behind the defence.[59] El-Helwe is also a good finisher in the box.[59] SV Meppen's sporting director, Heiner Beckmann, described El-Helwe as "physically strong, quick and very versatile in attack" upon signing for the club in 2019.[22]
