Mohamed Fares Al Arnaout (Arabic: محمد فارس أرناؤوط‎; born 31 January 1997) is a Syrian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Indian Super League club Goa and the Syria national team.[3]

Club career[edit]

Arnaout previously played for Al-Jazeera, Al-Jaish, Hutteen in Syria.[4] He won the Syrian Cup, Syrian Premier League and Syrian Super Cup in his first season with Al-Jaish. In the years to come, he would establish himself as a key member of the squad – winning the Syrian League again the following season in 2018/19.

Arnaout joined Bahraini outfit Al-Muharraq and clinched the 2021 AFC Cup title.[5] He later joined Manama Club in the same league.

Goa[edit]

In July 2022, Indian Super League outfit Goa completed the permanent signing of Arnaout on a one-year deal.[3]

"I am thrilled at the prospect of playing for FC Goa. It's a big challenge for me – to come to India and show people what I am all about and I'm already excited thinking about the start of the new season."

— Arnaout, after signing with Goa.[6]

International career[edit]

On 8 July 2019, Arnaout made his international debut for Syria against North Korea in a 5–2 win in the 2019 Intercontinental Cup, where they achieved third place.[7][8]

Arnaout captained the Syria U23 side to the quarter-finals of the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship. The tournament saw Syria brave the odds to qualify from a group that had Asian powerhouses in Saudi Arabia, Japan and Qatar. They eventually bowed out of the tournament in the quarter-finals, losing to Australia in extra time.[9][10]
