Rewan Amin (Arabic: ريوان أمين, Kurdish: ڕێوان ئەمین, Rêwan Emîn; born 8 January 1996) is an Iraqi Kurdish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Al-Shorta and the Iraq national team.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Dohuk, Iraq, Amin and his family migrated to the Dutch city of Leeuwarden when he was three. Three years later, he joined the youth setup of LAC Frisia 1883, before switching to the academy of Heerenveen six years later. In 2013, he signed a three-year contract extension with the club.[1] In March 2013, reports emerged of English club Arsenal expressing their desire to sign him.[2]

In the pre-season of 2014–15, Amin injured his right knee. In the first match after his recovery, Amin was again injured against FC Groningen. Even though he recovered after the winter break, Amin was again injured, this time in a workout which ruled him out of play for eight weeks.[3] On 12 May 2016, his contract was extended for another season.[4]

Although Amin played 32 times for the reserves, he failed to make a first team debut at Heerenveen.[5] On 2 February 2017, he moved to Swedish second-tier club Dalkurd FF, after agreeing to a three-year contract.[6] The same season, Dalkurd won a promotion to Allsvenskan, Sweden's top tier.[7]

On 11 August 2018, Rewan Amin transferred to fellow Allsvenskan side Östersunds FK for an undisclosed fee, on a contract running until 2021.[8] In total, Amin played 49 competitive games for Dalkurd, providing eight assists.[7]

In January 2022, Amin terminated his contract with Ostersunds after a spell dictated by injuries and moved back to Dalkurd FF, only returning to playing in September 2022. He left Dalkurd at the end of the 2022 Superettan season, and a move to SC Cambuur in the Eredivise was arranged, but Amin preferred to play for his country against his new club's will so the move broke down. After winning the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup, Amin signed for Duhok SC, based in the city where he was born. He now captains the Duhok-based club.

International career

[edit]

Amin scored a goal in his debut for the Netherlands under-15 team. In 2012, he was called to the Netherlands under-17 by Albert Stuivenberg. He was appointed as the captain and went on to play 10 matches for the team.[1]

On 12 September 2022, Amin was called up by Radhi Shenaishil to represent Iraq in the 2022 Jordan International Tournament, representing his country of birth. He was named on the bench in the semi-final against Oman. He came on in the last minute against Syria. Jesús Casas named Amin in the final squad for the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup, being a part of the squad that won the tournament for the fourth time in Iraq's history.
