Roman Fazi (Dari: رومان فاضی; born 10 February 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Norwegian Second Division club Asker. Born in Norway, he represents the Afghanistan national team.

Club career

Fazi has spent his entire senior career at Asker, based in Asker, Norway, having joined the club in 2016. He is known at the club as a technically gifted and creative midfielder with a particular reputation for free kicks.[1]

Fazi made his senior competitive debut in 2017 in the Norwegian Second Division. After spending much of the 2021 season in rehabilitation from injury, he signed a contract extension with Asker ahead of the 2022 season, with the club describing him as eager to prove himself.[2] Following a difficult end to the 2022 season in which he considered leaving the club, Fazi ultimately chose to remain at Asker, with coach Bredal describing him as having football in his blood and praising his creativity and goal-scoring ability.[3][4]

Fazi has accumulated 150 appearances and 52 goals across all competitions for Asker, establishing himself as one of the club's most prolific attacking midfielders. His most productive individual season came in 2024, when he scored 21 goals in 12 appearances in the Norwegian Third Division. He followed that with 8 goals in 9 appearances in the Norwegian Second Division in 2025, finishing as the club's top scorer.[5][6]

International career

Born in Norway and of Afghan descent, Fazi represents Afghanistan internationally. He was called up to Afghanistan for the 2026 Diamond Jubilee International Football Tournament, a four-nation competition held in Malé, Maldives from 1–10 June 2026, organised to celebrate the 75th anniversary of football in the Maldives.[7]

In his debut appearance against hosts Maldives on 1 June 2026, Fazi scored the only goal of the match in the 80th minute, giving Afghanistan a 1–0 victory.[8][9][10]
