Mousa Al-Tamari: Who is Ligue 1’s fastest player?

Meet Mousa Al-Tamari, the trailblazing winger from Amman, etched his name in Ligue 1 history as the first Jordanian player to not only grace the field but also score. Joining Montpellier from OH Leuven this summer, Al-Tamari has wasted no time, netting three goals in his initial four games and earning the title of MHSC ‘Player of the Month’ in August. Hailing from a diverse football journey, spanning Shabab Al-Ordon, Al-Jazeera, APOEL, and OH Leuven, Al-Tamari’s story is as fascinating as his playing style.

Beyond being Ligue 1’s second-highest shooter and seventh in successful dribbles, Al-Tamari aspires to break stereotypes and showcase the untapped talent in Jordan. As he rightfully says, “If European clubs watched more local league matches, they would sign more Jordanian players.” Stay tuned as Al-Tamari continues to defy expectations and bring his unique flair to Ligue 1.
