Hassan Maatouk

Hassan Ali Maatouk (حسن علي معتوق, ; born 10 August 1987) is a Lebanese professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Ansar. Known for his pace and technical skills, Maatouk is the Lebanon national team's all-time top goalscorer and most-capped player, and was captain of the team between 2016 and 2024.

Maatouk began his senior career at age 17 in 2004 with Ahed in Lebanon. He won a total of 12 trophies with his team, including three Lebanese Premier League titles and three Lebanese FA Cups during his seven-year stay. In 2011, Maatouk moved to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to play for Ajman. After a short spell at Emirates, he signed for Al-Shaab in 2012. Between 2013 and 2017, Maatouk played for Fujairah, scoring 56 goals and becoming their all-time top scorer. In 2017, he returned to Lebanon and signed with Nejmeh, where he won two Lebanese Elite Cups and was named Best Player of the league in both seasons. In 2019, he joined cross-city rivals Ansar on a free transfer, helping them win their first league title in 14 years in 2021 as the league's top scorer.

Maatouk debuted with the national team in 2006 at age 19, in a match against Saudi Arabia. His first and last goals for Lebanon were both against Bangladesh, in 2011 and 2024, respectively; notably, his last goal came during his final match for Lebanon, in which he scored a hat-trick. In 2016, Maatouk succeeded Roda Antar as team captain. With five goals in six matches in the third round of qualification for the 2019 Asian Cup, he helped an unbeaten Lebanon qualify for their first Asian Cup through qualification. Maatouk also played in the 2023 Asian Cup. In 2022, he became the first player to reach 100 international caps for Lebanon. Maatouk scored 26 goals in 123 games for his country, becoming Lebanon's all-time top scorer and most-capped player.

During his time at Ahed, Maatouk was nominated as the Best Player of the Lebanese Premier League in 2010 and 2011, an honour which he won twice more with Nejmeh in 2018 and 2019. He was also included in the Team of the Year in those four years. With Fujairah in the UAE, Maatouk scored 56 goals in 110 games, becoming the club's all-time top scorer. He has also scored over 100 goals in the Lebanese Premier League with Ahed, Nejmeh, and Ansar. Maatouk won the Lebanese Premier League Golden Boot twice, in 2011 and 2021.

Early life
Maatouk was born on 10 August 1987, in Sir el Gharbiyeh, Lebanon. In 1989, his family fled to Germany due to the Lebanese Civil War. While in Germany, Maatouk began playing football, joining the youth team of Rot-Weiss Essen, where he played for three years.

Maatouk's talent caught the attention of scouts from the German team Schalke. However, his family's attempt to secure permanent residency in Germany was interrupted by a police raid, forcing them to return to Lebanon in 1998 and ending Maatouk's opportunity of playing with Schalke. Maatouk cited his experience in Europe as essential to his development as a player.

Upon returning to Lebanon, Maatouk played for Sagesse's youth team for three years, participating only in friendly matches as he refused to sign a lifetime contract, a common practice in Lebanon at the time. Maatouk mentioned that Sagesse gave him equipment, including clothes and shoes, as a form of temptation to sign with them, but he never committed despite accepting the equipment.

At 15, Maatouk was noticed by Jamal Al Haj, a supervisor for Ahed's youth sector, while playing in a local tournament. Although the issue of lifetime contracts initially hindered his signing with Ahed, circumstances changed when Maatouk's father's minibus, the family's sole source of income, broke down. Needing $2,000 for repairs, Maatouk decided to sign with Ahed. Al Haj persuaded the administration to offer Maatouk a contract, arguing that the investment would pay off in the future. Eventually, Maatouk was signed for $2,000 and a monthly salary of $150.

2004–05: Debut season
Coming through the youth system, Maatouk's senior career began at age 17 with Ahed. He made his debut on 28 September 2004, coming on as a substitute for Ali Attar against Olympic Beirut in the 2004 Lebanese Elite Cup group stage. Maatouk's first league goal for Ahed came on 20 March 2005 against Rayyan when he scored the match winner in a 2–1 win. His first brace came two months later on Matchday 19, when he scored the only two goals in a match against Tadamon Sour.

Maatouk scored three goals in the 2005 AFC Cup, two of which were against Al-Hussein of Jordan on 25 May. He ended his 2004–05 season with three league goals, and won the Lebanese FA Cup as man of the match in the final which Ahed won 2–1 against Olympic Beirut.

2005–2009: First league title and domestic treble
On 5 February 2006, during the 2005–06 Lebanese Premier League season, Maatouk scored his first domestic hat-trick against Salam Zgharta in an 8–0 win. He scored a total of eight goals in the league, improving on his previous tally of three. His 2006–07 Lebanese Premier League season, however, was not as prolific, scoring only three league goals and two cup goals.

Maatouk began the 2007–08 season with a hat-trick against Tripoli on Matchday 5, in a match that ended 7–1. Thanks to four other goals scored throughout the season, Maatouk helped Ahed win their first-ever Lebanese League title.

Maatouk was the top goalscorer of the 2008 Lebanese Elite Cup with three goals, on a par with his teammate Salih Sadir. He scored in both of the 2009 AFC Cup group stage games against Busaiteen, but his team failed to qualify to the next round. He won a domestic treble with Ahed during the 2008–09 season, winning the Lebanese FA Cup, the Elite Cup, and the Super Cup.

2009–2011: Consecutive league Best Player awards and top scorer
On 30 January 2010, he scored a brace in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against Nejmeh, despite his side being a man down. This secured the team's entry into the semifinals, which they lost to Ansar 3–1. Three months later, on 7 April, Maatouk scored a brace in the AFC Cup against Al-Jaish as a substitute from the 46th minute; his side lost 6–3. Following up on his previous season's success, Maatouk scored 12 goals in the league; his second win. He was also awarded the Lebanese Premier League Best Player award.

In his final full season (2010–11) with Ahed, Maatouk scored 15 league goals and became the season's top scorer. He also won a domestic quadruple with his team, winning the league, the FA Cup, the Elite Cup, and the Super Cup. Thanks to his performances he won a second Best Player award. Maatouk played his final games for Ahed at the 2011 Elite Cup in September 2011. During the tournament, he scored three goals, including one in the final held on 24 September, which Ahed won 4–2 against Safa. In his seven years with the Lebanese side, Maatouk scored 53 goals in the league, and reportedly 89 goals in all competitions. In the process, he won 12 trophies for his team.

2011–12: First season in the UAE Pro League
On 27 September 2011, it was announced that Maatouk had completed a loan deal to UAE Pro League side Ajman worth $180,000. He later said in an interview that during a match played for the Lebanon national team, against the United Arab Emirates on 6 September 2011, Ajman's coach was present and showed interest in signing him.

During the 2011–12 season he scored six goals for his club, as well as a brace on his debut, on 10 October 2011, in a UAE League Cup match against Al-Nasr. His first league goal, however, came on 3 December of the same year, against Dubai in a 3–1 away win. On 4 January 2012, Maatouk's first UAE Pro League brace came against Sharjah in a 3–1 win, when he scored in the first minutes of both halves.

In 2012 his performances attracted the attention of various European teams, such as French Ligue 1 clubs Olympique Marseille, Ajaccio,  and Nice,  and German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.

2012–13: Second season in the UAE Pro League
On 18 June 2012, it was announced that Maatouk had signed a one-year loan with Emirates Club for $800,000. His former club Ajman had been unable to pay the $500,000 fee that Ahed asked to renew the loan deal. He played one game in the promotion/relegation play-offs, in a 2–1 defeat to Sharjah on 14 September. As Emirates Club finished in last place in the play-off group, they were relegated to the UAE First Division.

Maatouk moved to Al-Shaab on 27 September on a one-year loan for an undisclosed fee. He scored four league goals for the team during the 2012–13 season. He also scored two League Cup goals, one of which was against Al-Nasr on 16 January 2013, Maatouk's third against them in the competition.

2013–2016: Promotion and stay in the UAE Pro League
In 2013 Maatouk moved to UAE First Division side Fujairah on a one-year loan. In his debut season he scored 20 league goals in 23 games, helping his side gain promotion back to the UAE Pro League after a seven-year absence from the top flight. Following his successful season, Maatouk's loan was renewed for one season.

On 22 October 2014, Maatouk assisted Boubacar Sanogo's opening goal in a 2–1 victory over Ittihad Kalba, Fujairah's first win of the 2014–15 season. His first Pro League goal for the team, which also happened to be a brace, came on 4 February 2015 against Emirates in a 2–1 win. His next league goals for Fujairah also came in the form of a double against Ittihald Kalba on 21 March 2015, with his 89th-minute goal being the match decider in a 3–2 away win. Maatouk scored a total of five goals in 26 appearances in the league. He helped Fujairah avoid relegation, and was included in the 13-man shortlist for the 2014–15 UAE Pro League Best Foreign Player award as the only Arab and Asian player. Maatouk's loan was once again renewed a further year in July 2015.

During the 2015–16 UAE Pro League season, Maatouk improved his goal tally by scoring nine goals in the same number of appearances as the previous season. He also scored one League Cup goal in two matches. This was not enough to keep the team safe, however, and they were relegated back to the second division after only two seasons.

2016–17: Relegation back to the First Division
In his last season for the club, played in the UAE First Division, Maatouk scored 12 goals in 16 appearances. He was released by Fujairah in July 2017; the Lebanese player's desire to terminate his contract came after his team failed to gain promotion to the first division during the 2016–17 season. Maatouk said that the appointment of Diego Maradona as coach was not tempting enough for him to remain, and he would rather depart from the Division One side. He scored a total of 46 goals in 91 league appearances, as well as 10 cup goals in 19 appearances for his club, leaving as Fujairah's all-time top scorer with 56 total goals.

2017–18: Fourth Elite Cup and third Best Player award
Maatouk returned to Lebanon in July 2017, signing for Nejmeh on a reported salary of $365,000 for one season, subject to renewal. Less than a month after signing, he helped the side win the 2017 Lebanese Elite Cup, winning on penalties against his former club Ahed in the final played on 20 August. On his league debut, played on 15 September, Maatouk faced Ahed once again in a 2–2 draw, scoring in the 22nd minute from the penalty spot. His first brace for Nejmeh came two months later, on 5 November, against Tadamon Sour in a 2–0 away win.

Upon his return to the Lebanese Premier League, he scored 13 goals and made 14 assists in 21 league appearances, making him the second-highest scorer and the player with the most assists in the 2017–18 season. He won the Lebanese Premier League Best Player award for the third time, and was included in the Lebanese Premier League Team of the Season for his performances.

2018–19: Fifth Elite Cup and fourth Best Player award
At the 2018–19 Arab Club Champions Cup play-off rounds Maatouk scored twice in three matches, one goal being a penalty in a 1–0 win against Tunisian team Club Africain on 23 May 2018. This enabled Nejmeh to gain all three points and qualify to the Round of 36 against Al Ahly, where his team lost 4–1 on aggregate and was subsequently knocked out of the competition. On 2 July 2018, amidst speculation of his departure, Nejmeh confirmed Maatouk would remain with the club for the following season. On 25 August 2018, Maatouk won his second consecutive Elite Cup for Nejmeh, his fifth in total, after beating Akhaa Ahli Aley 1–0 in the final.

His first league goal of the 2018–19 season came against Salam Zgharta on 21 October 2018, when he scored the first goal in a 2–0 win. On 12 February, Maatouk was involved with each goal in a 5–1 win against Tripoli, scoring a brace and assisting the other three goals. He was voted the best player of Matchday 14 for his performances. On 6 April 2019, Maatouk's penalty kick allowed his team to beat Ansar 1–0 in the Beirut derby, in a vital fight for second place. Maatouk's first AFC Cup goal for Nejmeh came on 3 May 2019, in a 2–1 away defeat against Hilal Al-Quds. On 14 May he scored his second goal in the 2019 AFC Cup, in a 2–2 draw against Al-Jaish.

Maatouk ended his season with 14 goals in 37 games throughout the campaign. He also made seven assists in the league, making him the player with the second most assists in the season. For his performances, Maatouk won the Lebanese Premier League Best Player award for the fourth time and was included in the Lebanese Premier League Team of the Season.

2019–20: Elite Cup finalist and COVID-19 suspension
On 3 July 2019, cross-city rivals Ansar announced the signing of Maatouk on a three-year deal after his previous contract with Nejmeh had expired. His salary of $900,000, spread over the three years, was the highes in Lebanese football history. Maatouk scored his first goal for Ansar on 24 July 2019, in the 2019 Lebanese Elite Cup group stage game against his former club Nejmeh. He scored in the 44th minute, contributing to a 3–1 victory and helping Ansar qualify for the knockout stages. In the semi-finals on 18 August 2019, Maatouk scored his first brace for Ansar in a 5–0 win over Chabab Ghazieh. On 25 August 2019, he scored in the final against Shabab Sahel, becoming the tournament's top scorer with four goals. However, Ansar lost in a penalty shoot-out after drawing 3–3 in extra time, and Maatouk did not secure his first cup with the new club.

Maatouk made his league debut for Ansar on 20 September 2019, in the Beirut derby against Nejmeh, which his side lost 1–0 due to a 90th-minute penalty by Feiz Shamsin. His first league goal came on 29 September 2019, scoring a penalty in a 3–1 home win against Shabab Sahel. In January 2020, the Lebanese Football Association decided to suspend the ongoing 2019–20 season due to financial and political issues in the country, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. On 24 February 2020, Maatouk scored a header against Al-Faisaly in a 2020 AFC Cup group stage game, helping Ansar to a 4–3 home victory.

2020–21: Domestic double and league top scorer
On 10 October 2020, Maatouk scored his first league goal of the 2020–21 season in the second matchday, securing a 2–0 win over Shabab Bourj. In the following game on 18 October, he scored a brace against Chabab Ghazieh, including a direct corner kick goal aided by strong wind, helping Ansar reach the top of the table. One week later, on Matchday 4, Maatouk scored another brace in a 3–1 victory over his former club Ahed. On 6 November, he contributed to four of Ansar's six goals—scoring once and assisting three times—in a 6–1 league win against Safa. On 26 December, Maatouk scored a hat-trick of penalties, leading Ansar to a 3–0 win against Bourj and temporarily reclaiming the league lead. This hat-trick was his first in the league since 2010 when he scored three goals for Ahed against Nejmeh.

After finishing first in the league, ahead of Nejmeh, and winning the FA Cup final on penalty shoot-outs, also against Nejmeh, Maatouk helped Ansar achieve a domestic double. With 14 goals and seven assists in 16 games, Maatouk was the league's top scorer and top assist provider. He also made three assists in four FA Cup games. Ansar's league title was their first since 2007 and their 14th overall.

2021–2023: Shoulder injury and recovery
Due to shoulder injuries throughout the 2021–22 season, Maatouk was absent from Ansar's matches for several months. He played 11 league games without scoring, marking the first time in his career he failed to score in a league season. However, he netted three goals in as many FA Cup games, through a hat-trick in a 6–0 win against Salam Zgharta on 22 December 2021. On 14 May 2022, Maatouk renewed his contract with Ansar for another two years.

Maatouk ended his 16-month goalscoring draught in the league on the first matchday of the 2022–23 season, scoring in a 2–2 draw against Shabab Sahel on 3 September 2022. His previous league goal had been on 18 April 2021, also against Sahel. Maatouk finished the 2022–23 season with 10 goals and eight assists in 19 league games, and he also scored two goals in the Elite Cup.

2023–present: 100th Lebanese Premier League goal
On 6 August 2023, Maatouk began the 2023–24 season with a free-kick goal and an assist in the first matchday of the league, resulting in a 2–2 draw against Ahly Nabatieh. With his goal in a 1–1 league draw against Shabab Sahel on 20 August, Maatouk scored his 100th Lebanese Premier League goal and his 250th goal in senior competitions (for both clubs and the national team). On 17 April 2024, Maatouk's contract was renewed for two seasons. One month later, on 16 May, he scored a penalty in a 2–1 win against Nejmeh, helping Ansar regain the top spot in the league. Despite eventually finishing runners-up in the league to Nejmeh, Ansar won the FA Cup after defeating Ahed 2–1 in the final on 11 July 2024. With eight goals and 11 assists in 25 games, Maatouk was the league's top assist provider.

2006–2011: Youth and early career
Having played for Lebanon's under-17 and under-19 teams, Maatouk was called up for the under-23 team at the 2008 Summer Olympics qualifiers in 2007. He scored one goal in five appearances in the second round, helping Lebanon finish second in their group and qualify to the third round. In the final qualification round, Maatouk scored one goal in six matches, finishing in last place in the group.

His senior career had already begun on 26 January 2006, aged 19, with a friendly match against Saudi Arabia, won by Lebanon 2–1. Between 2009 and 2010, Maatouk participated in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers; he played five of Lebanon's six games. The team finished in last place. Maatouk's first goal came in 2011 at the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, during the first leg of the second round game against Bangladesh; he scored the opener in a match that finished 4–0. Lebanon progressed to the third round, played between 2011 and 2012, where they were drawn with South Korea, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. Maatouk scored his first international brace against Kuwait on 11 October 2011, in a 2–2 draw. In an interview in 2020, Maatouk described his second goal of the match as the most beautiful goal he had scored in his career.

2012–2016: Rise to prominence
With three goals in five games in the third round, Maatouk helped Lebanon progress to the fourth (and final) round of the 2014 World Cup qualification for the first time in their history. Lebanon were drawn in Group A with Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, and Qatar. Maatouk played all eight games between 2012 and 2013, scoring a goal against South Korea in a 1–1 draw. With five points in eight games, Lebanon finished last in the group, failing to reach the finals.

Maatouk also participated in the 2015 Asian Cup qualifiers between 2013 and 2014, playing all six group stage games. His three goals came against Thailand, including two in the final group stage match, on 5 March 2014, which ended with a 5–2 win for Lebanon. Lebanon finished in third place in their group, failing to qualify to the final tournament.

On 8 September 2014, Maatouk played against the Brazilian Olympic team in an unofficial friendly that ended in a 2–2 draw. In the last minute of the first half, trailing by one goal, he set up Mohamad Ghaddar who scored the equalizer. In the 53rd minute, Maatouk scored a low-driven shot on a volley from a free kick taken by Abbas Ahmed Atwi to put his team in the lead. Ghaddar reciprocated the previous favour 28 minutes later, as he assisted Maatouk with a backheel pass. Maatouk scored after dribbling past the goalkeeper, but the goal was incorrectly ruled offside.

In the second round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, held between 2015 and 2016, Lebanon drew with South Korea, Kuwait, Myanmar, and Laos. Maatouk scored twice in the second round, against Myanmar and Laos, and, despite finishing second in their group, Lebanon were eliminated from the World Cup. However, their second-place finish enabled them to progress to the final round of qualification for the 2019 Asian Cup.

2016–2024: Captain and record-breaker
After the second round of the World Cup qualifiers in 2016, national team captain Roda Antar retired from international football, with Maatouk taking over the reigns. Maatouk was fundamental to his team's success during the 2019 Asian Cup qualifications, played between 2017 and 2018: he scored five goals in six matches in the third round, thus qualifying Lebanon to their first ever Asian Cup through qualification.

In December 2018, Maatouk was called up for the 2019 Asian Cup as Lebanon's captain. In the first group stage match, on 9 January 2019 against Qatar, he received a yellow card for an alleged "handball", protecting his face with his arm; the opposing team scored from the subsequent free kick. On 17 January, in the third match, Maatouk converted a penalty kick against North Korea, giving Lebanon a 3–1 lead, with the match eventually ending 4–1. However, Lebanon lost out to Vietnam in the third-place ranking on the fair play rule and were knocked out of the competition.

On 19 November 2022, in a friendly against Kuwait in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Maatouk played his 100th game for Lebanon, becoming the first player from his country to join the FIFA Century Club. He surpassed Vardan Ghazaryan's record of 21 goals for Lebanon on 22 June 2023 by scoring his 22nd international goal against Bangladesh in the 2023 SAFF Championship, becoming Lebanon's top scorer since 1971. This goal was also his first international goal in almost four years.

In December 2023, Maatouk was included in the Lebanese squad for the 2023 Asian Cup as team captain. Lebanon finished last in their group, securing only a draw against China and suffering defeats to Qatar and Tajikistan. Maatouk started all three group stage games. He played his last game for Lebanon on 11 June 2024, in the final match of the second round of 2026 World Cup qualification, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–0 win against Bangladesh. Maatouk retired from the national team as Lebanon's top scorer and most-capped player, with 123 caps and 26 goals.

Style of play
Dubbed the "Lebanese Messi" (ميسي لبنان) by some, Maatouk is capable of playing in different positions in attack. Indeed, while initially starting as a centre-forward, he matured into a winger later on in his career. Not only is Maatouk a goal poacher, but he is also able to make the most of his natural abilities, mainly his pace and dribbling. He is known for his great vision and ability on the ball to create scoring opportunities for his teammates. The fact that he can also use both feet equally makes him a very versatile player. Maatouk is also a free kick specialist. While traditionally a left winger, during the 2020–21 season Maatouk was deployed as an inside-forward on the right, cutting inside to create attacking chances.

In 2012, Lebanon national team's coach Theo Bücker described Maatouk as a player who "comes around every 10 years" and "is almost impossible to substitute." His manager at Ajman, Abdulwahab Abdulkadir, praised Maatouk's speed, ability to beat many players, and hard work. Additionally, Diego Maradona called him an "outstanding" player. Miodrag Radulović, Lebanon's coach during the 2019 Asian Cup, characterized Maatouk as a "leader" and "a really good player", considering him "one of the very best players in the Middle East" and "right at the top level".

Personal life
Maatouk and his wife, Sahar, have four children: a son, a daughter, and twin boys. Maatouk credits his father, Ali, as an inspiration who encouraged him to approach both his studies and football with equal dedication. He also cites his brother Hussein as a major influence in his football career, saying he "believed in me, cared about my talent, and supported me throughout my journey".

While playing at Ahed, Maatouk worked at the Lebanese Canadian Bank. His routine involved waking up at six in the morning for work and then heading to training in the afternoon. Occasionally, he played with the bank's team, and his improper diet during this time affected his performance.

In a 2020 interview, Maatouk stated that the best period of his football career was at Fujairah, while the worst was his second season at Nejmeh. His most influential coach at the club level was Džemal Hadžiabdić at Fujairah, and Miodrag Radulović had the most impact on him at the national-team level. In a 2024 interview, he credited coach Jamal Al Haj at Ahed, who, according to Maatouk, "not only believed in my talent but also knew how to guide it on the right path". Maatouk considers Brazilian player Ronaldo the best of all time, and Spanish club Barcelona is his favorite club. According to Maatouk, Lebanon's best players of all time are Youssef Mohamad and Roda Antar. He considers his goal for the Lebanon national team against Kuwait on 10 October 2011, the most beautiful goal of his career.

In 2022, FIFA released Captains, an eight-part sports docuseries produced by Fulwell 73, which followed six national team captains in their respective 2022 World Cup qualification campaigns. Maatouk, representing Lebanon, starred in the first season alongside Thiago Silva (Brazil), Luka Modrić (Croatia), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon), Andre Blake (Jamaica), and Brian Kaltak (Vanuatu). The series was released on Netflix and FIFA's streaming platform, FIFA+.
