Anan Khalaily (Arabic: عنان خلايلي, Hebrew: ענאן ח'לאילי; born 3 September 2004) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a forward for Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Haifa and the Israel national team.[1]

Early life

Anan Khalaily was born in Haifa, Israel, to an Arab-Israeli family who moved there from the Arab village of Sakhnin, Israel.[2] His father Majdi Khalaily is also a former Arab-Israeli footballer and manager, who used to play as a goalkeeper.[3] His younger brother Eyad Khalaily is a fellow footballer of his, who plays for the youth squad of Israeli club Maccabi Haifa.[3][4]

Club career

Khalaili joined the academy of local side Beitar Haifa in 2012, spending two seasons before a move to Maccabi Haifa.[5] After a number of seasons with Maccabi Haifa, he spent the 2019–20 season with the Neve Yosef academy, where he scored twenty-five goals in twenty-four games, prompting Maccabi Haifa to recall him.[5] His father, who worked as a coach at Neve Yosef, stated that Maccabi Haifa had initially expected Khalaili to spend two seasons with the academy, but due to his performances, they requested him back after only one season.[5]

Maccabi Haifa

On 2 February 2022, Khalaily made his senior debut in the 2–0 win against Hapoel Hadera in Israel State Cup competition.[6] On 11 July 2023, he scored his debut goal for the senior team in the 4–0 win against Ħamrun Spartans in UEFA Champions League qualifying.[7]

International career

He played for the Israel national under-20 team during the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup campaign.[1] During the tournament, he scored the game winning goal against Uzbekistan and scored the third and final goal of the game against South Korea.[8]
