Fahed Adnan Foad Abdul Attal (Arabic: فهد عتال; born 1 January 1985) is a Palestinian former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Club career
Move to Jordanian Premier League
After grabbing the attention of scouts of clubs such as Al-Wahdat[1] with a dazzling performance at the 2006 AFC Challenge Cup Attal agreed a loan deal with Al-Jazeera of the Jordan League. After scoring 8 goals in his inaugural season, Attal was transferred on a permanent deal worth $21000 USD.[2] In 2010, he signed a one-year $50,000 contract to join Al-Wahdat[3] With the signing of Abdullah Deeb, Attal chose to search for a new club. He signed a one-year contract with Hebron-based Shabab Al-Khaleel of the West Bank Premier League.[citation needed]
International career
Attal was the all-time top goalscorer of the Palestine national team, with 14 goals in 39 games until 2024.[4] Twelve of Attal's goals with the national team came in the 2006 calendar year earning him recognition from International Federation of Football History and Statistics which cited Attal as the World's 8th leading scorer of international goals on par with the likes of David Villa and Bastian Schweinsteiger.[5] Attal was also included in the Asian Football Confederation shortlist of 10 players for the 2006 AFC Player of the Year Award.[6]
