Mahmoud Mohamed Siblini (Arabic: محمود محمد سبليني; born 15 July 1993) is a Lebanese footballer who plays as a forward for Lebanese Premier League club Nejmeh.[2]

Starting his career at Ahli Saida in 2011, Siblini moved to Nejmeh in 2014 before being sent on a season-long loan to Tadamon Sour in 2017.

Siblini started his club career at his hometown club Ahli Saida during the 2011–12 Lebanese Premier League, playing 18 games and scoring one goal.[3] Despite finishing in last place and being relegated to the Lebanese Second Division, Siblini remained at the club for two further seasons.[3]

On 13 August 2014, Siblini moved to Nejmeh,[4] scoring one league goal in eight games, and winning the Lebanese Elite Cup and Lebanese Super Cup.[3] The following season, in 2015–16, Siblini scored four league goals in 17 games, and helped his side win the Lebanese FA Cup.[3] On 9 April 2016, Siblini sustained an ACL injury, ruling him out for the majority of the 2016–17 season.[5]

In August 2017, he was sent on a season-long loan to Tadamon Sour,[6] where he scored one goal in 17 games.[3] Upon his return to Nejmeh, Siblini went through another ACL injury on 23 May 2018, in a 2018–19 Arab Club Champions Cup match against Tunisian club Club Africain.[7] He recovered over seven months later, in January 2019.[7]
