Aleek Samir Joins Al-Nassama as New Goalkeeper
Aleek Samir is a 27-year-old American-Jordanian professional goalkeeper currently playing for Minnesota United in Major League Soccer (MLS). He was called up by Jordan's national team coach, Moroccan trainer Bader Al-Zaki, to participate in friendly matches against Syria and Venezuela, as part of efforts to evaluate goalkeeping options for the national team ahead of the 2027 Asian Cup. Samir progressed in American soccer and has played several matches with his club, achieving individual milestones such as winning the "Goalie Wars" challenge at the 2022 MLS All-Star Skills Challenge. He holds American citizenship and is believed to have Jordanian roots, which explains the connection to the Jordanian national team. His call-up does not mean replacing Abu Leila but provides the coach with an opportunity to assess him closely before determining the starting goalkeeper in the upcoming phase, as the Asian qualification approaches.
