Mohamad Hussein Safwan (Arabic: محمد حسين صفوان; born 10 March 2003) is a Lebanese footballer who plays as a left-back for Lebanese Premier League club Jwaya and the Lebanon national team.

Club career

Having played for Hoops's youth team,[3] Safwan moved Bourj in August 2019, initially joining their youth team.[4] In March 2022, he was loaned to Akhaa Ahli Aley for the rest of the 2021–22 season.[5] Safwan helped Bourj lift the youth league title in 2021–22, and played a few games with the senior team in the 2022–23 season.[6]

After having been released by Bourj in the summer of 2023,[7] Safwan joined Nejmeh as a free agent in June.[6] He helped Nejmeh lift the 2023–24 Lebanese Premier League title and the 2023 Lebanese Super Cup in his first season.[8]

Following five months of contract negotiations with Nejmeh, Safwan decided to depart from the club and joined Jwaya in August 2026.[9][10]

International career

Safwan represented Lebanon at various youth levels. In 2021, he was part of Lebanon's squad for the WAFF U-18 Championship,[11] where the team reached the final before finishing as runners-up to Iraq.[12] Safwan was called up to the Lebanon national under-23 team for the 2026 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, held in Saudi Arabia in January 2026.[13]

Safwan received his first call-up to the Lebanon national team in August 2024 for the Merdeka Tournament.[14] He made his international debut on 19 November 2024, in a 3–2 friendly victory over Myanmar, being substituted at halftime.[15] By 25 March 2025, he had recorded four assists in his first five international appearances, including two during Lebanon's 2027 Asian Cup qualification match against Brunei.[16] On 14 October 2025, he scored his first international goal in a 4–0 win against Bhutan in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.[17]

Style of play

Safwan is a modern left-back known for his technical ability, attacking-mindedness and pace, often overlapping with attackers.[18] His versatility allows him to adapt to roles in central midfield or on the wing.[18]
