Omar Mussa (born 20 August 2000) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for English club Weymouth, as a midfielder.

Club career[]

After playing youth football for KV Mechelen, Mussa signed for English club Walsall in January 2019.[1][2][3] He was released by Walsall at the end of the 2018–19 season,[4] having made one Football League appearance for the club.[5]

On 26 October 2020, Mussa joined National League club Dover Athletic, after appearing in pre-season for the Kent side.[6] The following day, Mussa came off the bench in the 75' minute of a 3–2 victory over Eastleigh to make his debut for the club.[7] Following's Dover's decision to not play any more matches in the 2020–21 season, made in late January, and subsequent null and voiding of all results, on 5 May 2021 it was announced that Mussa was out of contract and had left the club.[8]

On 11 August 2021, Mussa joined another National League side, Weymouth, ahead of the 2021–22 season.[9] A first career goal for Mussa came in October 2021 when he scored the only goal in a victory over King's Lynn Town.[10] After the match, Weymouth's manager Brian Stock came out and said that he had not "seen a player with his amount of ability".[11]

International career[]

Mussa was a Belgian under-18 international,[1] making 2 appearances in 2017.[12]
