Luay Salah Hassan is an Iraqi football
player. He plays for Arbil FC.
Inspired by Iraq's fairy tale run to the Asian tite, Salah thrived at club level, scoring ten times to steer Arbil FC to the Iraqi league championship in the 2007/08 season, an achievement that earned the club a place at this year's AFC Cup.
He then carried this fine form on to the continental stage, netting two crucial goals in the ensuing AFC Cup to steer Arbil FC through to the last 16. In the all-Iraqi affair against compatriots Al Zawra'a, he was again on target as his club emerged 3-1 winners to book a place in the quarter-finals.
The 27-year-old's impressive scoring form did not go unnoticed by the newly appointed Iraq coach Bora Miluntinovic, who rewarded him with a place in Iraq's FIFA Confederation Cup squad. For the striker, the global showpiece will offer him a chance to emerge from the shadows and play his part in another Iraqi triumph.
