Amanuel Gebremichael Aregwai (Amharic: አማኑኤል ገብረ ሚካኤል; born 5 February 1999) is an Ethiopian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ethiopian Premier League club Fasil Kenema and the Ethiopia national team.

Club career[edit]

Mekelle 70 Enderta[edit]

Mekelle 70 Enderta finished second in their group in the Ethiopian Higher League in 2016–17, and Gebremichael scored a goal in their victory over Hadiya Hossana in the promotion playoff game to earn the club's first-ever promotion to the Ethiopian Premier League.[1]

On the final matchday of the 2018–19 season, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory over Dire Dawa Kenema that put them one point ahead of Sidama Coffee, securing their first-ever title.[2] He also finished the year with a league-best 17 goals.[2] He scored two goals against Cano Sport, one in each leg, in their 2019–20 CAF Champions League preliminary qualifying matchup, but they still lost by an aggregate scoreline of 3–2.[3][4]

International career[edit]

Gebremichael made his senior international debut on 5 December 2017, coming on for Dawa Hotessa during their 3–0 win over South Sudan in the 2017 CECAFA Cup.[5] He earned his second cap the following year in a loss to Ghana during 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification,[5] and scored his maiden international goal in his fourth cap against Djibouti on 4 August 2019 during 2020 African Nations Championship qualification.[6]

He scored in his debut with the national under-23 team, a 4–0 defeat of Somalia at home in the first round of 2019 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualification.[7]
