Baker Kamal Mohmmad Walid Kalbouneh (Arabic: بكر كمال محمد وليد كلبونة; born 14 August 2003) is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Jordanian Pro League side Al-Faisaly and the Jordan U-23 national team.
Club career
Early life and career
Kalbouneh began his career at Al-Wehdat when he was 10 years old.[1] He left the club and departed to the United Kingdom to study English, and then traveled to Australia to study another year of English.[2] Upon his return to Jordan, then joined the Jordan Knights academy.[3] He later joined Al-Jazeera's youth ranks until late 2021.
Al-Jazeera
Kalbouneh signed his first professional contract with Al-Jazeera on 1 January 2022. He was a contributor to their squad for the 2022 Jordanian Pro League season.[4] He was linked with Al-Wehdat by the end of the season, as he sought to play at a higher level than the Jordanian First Division League upon Al-Jazeera's relegation.[5] However, he stayed for the 2023 Jordanian First Division League season, where he ended as the top scorer of the league and promoting the club in the process.[6]
Al-Faisaly
On 8 January 2024, Kalbouneh signed with Jordanian club Al-Faisaly during the 2023-24 Jordanian Pro League season, signing with the club for a season and a half.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
His previous club, Al-Jazeera, demanded to Al-Faisaly to pay 20 thousand dinars as a sponsorship for the player, for a period of 4 years.[14]
International career
Kalbouneh was called up to various Jordanian youth national teams during his career. During the 2023 AFC U-20 Asian Cup, Kalbouneh found himself sent off after five seconds into the match, after a head-high tackle was made to Tajikistan U-20 player Mekhrubon Karimov.[15] He was subsequently suspended for two matches by the AFC as a result of the red card.[16]
On 19 March 2024, Kalboueh was called up to the Jordan national under-23 football team for the 2024 WAFF U-23 Championship.[17][18][19] He also participated in the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup.[20]
Personal life
In addition to being a footballer, Kalbouneh is noted for being an author and screenwriter.[21][22]
