Haytham Faour
Lebanese football player
Haytham Moussa Faour (Arabic: هيثم موسى فاعور; born 27 February 1990) is a Lebanese footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Lebanese Second Division club Irshad Chehim.
Faour made his senior debut for Ahed in 2009 and became one of the team's main players, winning the Lebanese Golden Ball in 2015. He also captained them to an AFC Cup win in 2019, helping Ahed become the first Lebanese club to win the title. Faour left Ahed in 2023 after 16 years at the club, and signed for Shabab Sahel. He then played for Nejmeh, before moving to Akhaa Ahli Aley and Irshad Chehim in 2026 in the Lebanese Second Division.
Faour represented Lebanon internationally from 2011 to 2019, playing 61 games and retiring as one of the national team's most-capped players.
Club career
On 2 October 2013, it was reported that Faour had signed for Iraqi club Al-Naft on a loan deal worth $140,000. After playing a friendly game for the club, the manager cancelled the transfer as he stated that he was looking for a "more attacking-minded midfielder".
On 31 May 2023, after having played 16 years at Ahed, Shabab Sahel announced the signing of Faour on a three-year contract. On 28 March 2025, he joined Nejmeh on a free transfer ahead of the second half of the 2024–25 season.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Haytham Faour”, the useful work is to connect “lebanese football player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5639675. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2009, 2015 and 2019.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
