Yazan Mousa Mahmoud Abu Al-Arab (ar|يَزَن مُوسى مَحمُود أَبُو الْعَرَب; born 31 January 1996) is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for K-League side FC Seoul and the Jordan national team.
On 18 December 2021, Yazan officially signed up with Malaysia Super League club, Selangor alongside national teammate Baha' Abdel-Rahman for 2022 season.[2]
On 3 October 2023, his contract was officially terminated by Selangor FC following an on-field incident involving a match official in a Malaysia Cup match against Terengganu FC on 24 September 2023.[3] [4] [5]
On 20 November 2023, Yazan has been banned for life from Malaysian football. The Football Association of Malaysia gave a lifetime ban because he violated Article 51, paragraph 1(a) and Article 59 of the association's Disciplinary Code but said the decision could be appealed.[6]
In July 2024, Yazan signed with FC Seoul.[7]
He was named as a candidate for K League's Player of the Month award for the month of August in 2024,[8] making an immediate impression for the club.[9]
He is playing for Jordan national football team since 2017.
