Abderrazak "Abdo" Hamdallah (Arabic: عبد الرزاق حمدالله; born 17 December 1990) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a striker for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Professional League. Between 2012 and his retirement from international football in November 2019 he made 16
appearances for the Morocco national team scoring 7 goals.
Early life[]
Born in Safi, Morocco, Hamdallah was the youngest of seven children of the family. Hamadallah spoke about his childhood, stating: "I started playing football in the street with other children of the city where I was born, Safi. As a teenager, I enrolled in a club in town. I was playing almost every day after school and all weekend. My older brother always supported me. He encouraged me to work hard . He was both my mentor and my first bear."[1]
Club career[]
Hamdallah started his professional career when he played for Olympique Safi of Morocco's top league.[2]
Aalesund[]
On 14 February 2013, it was confirmed that Hamdallah had joined Tippeliga club Aalesund. The transfer fee was in the region of €1 million or 7.4 million Norwegian Krone and the player signed a three-year contract, his first European contract. The transfer fee was the highest Aalesund has paid for a player ever.[3][4]
Hamdallah spoke about the first time he arrived at Norway, stating: "It was a difficult experience because I arrived in a country that's very cold, but through an effort of will, I overcame every obstacle. I was the first player from the Moroccan championship to come to Norway, and my signing generated a lot of attention in the newspapers. In the end, I was able to silence my critics by finishing as one of the leading scorers in the league."[5]
Hamdallah made his debut on 1 April 2013 as a substitute in the 1–0 away win of Sandnes Ulf and then scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–0 win over Sarpsborg 08 on 14 April 2013. Then on 13 May 2013, Hamdallah scored his first hat-trick for Aalesund in a 7–1 win over Lillestrøm SK, which he helped the club into second place after nine games.[6] After scoring ten goals so far this season, Hamadallah scored his second hat-trick of the season, in a 3–1 win over Viking on 25 October 2013.[7]
In his first season with the club, Hamdallah scored 15 times in 27 appearance and was included in the Team of the Year.[8] Also, it left Hamdallah as the club's top scorer, though he was the second in the league behind Frode Johnsen.[9]
Guangzhou R&F[]
In February 2014, Hamdallah joined Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F.[10] Upon the move, Hamdallah will be coached by Sven-Göran Eriksson for a record fee of €4.5 million or 33,3 million Norwegian Krone.[11] His departure from Aalesund left the club very affected, due to his goal-scoring form, something the club struggled with after Hamdallah left Norway for China.[12]
After making two appearances at the start of the season, Hamdallah scored his first hat-trick of the season, in a 3–1 win over Shanghai Shenxin on 22 March 2014.[13] In the next game against Hangzhou Greentown, he scored another hat-trick in a 6–2 win.[14] He scored again in the next match against Henan Jianye, which he scored twice in a 4–0 win.[15] After a week out over a leg injury, Hamdallah scored the winning goal, in a 1–0 win over against reigning champion, Guangzhou Evergrande.[16] In his first season at Guangzhou R&F, Hamdallah made twenty-two appearances and scoring twenty-two times.
Despite making a good start in the first four matches and scoring three times against Hangzhou Greentown,[17] Shanghai SIPG[18] and Guizhou Renhe.[19] Hamdallah also scored in the group-stage of AFC Champions League match against Gamba Osaka.[20] However, Hamdallah suffered leg injury[21] and then continuously suffered from injuries.[22] Not only that, his attitude caused a stir from manager Cosmin Contra[23] and the pair fell out.[24]
It was announced on 3 July 2015 that Hamdallah would leave the club.[25]
El Jaish[]
On 24 July 2015, Hamdallah joined El Jaish in the Qatar Stars League on a two-year contract with an option of extending for a third year.[26] As part of the move, Aalesund received 25 percent of the transfer fee paid to Guangzhou.[27]
Hamdallah had missed half of the season of 2016 due to a knee injury. His scoring has dropped this season due to absence of half of the games in this season.
Al Nassr[]
On 23 August 2018, Hamdallah joined Al Nassr in the Saudi Professional League. By April 2019 he had scored 100 league goals, a record since the league became professional in 2007.[28]
Despite the bad start due to a previous ankle injury Hamadallah was able to end his first season in the Saudi Professional League as the top scorer after impressively scoring 68 goals.
International career[]
He retired from international duty in November 2019.[29]
