Ahmed Mohammed Rajab Kraouaa (Arabic: احمد كراوع) (born 21 April 1989) is a Libyan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Libyan Premier League club Al Ahli Tripoli.[1]
Club career[edit]
Ittihad Tripoli[edit]
A promising young striker, Krawa'a was signed by Ittihad Tripoli in January 2008. Though he received few opportunities in the first team, he managed to get two goals, including an 87th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw against his former club, Shat.
Al Tarsana[edit]
Al Tarsana loaned Krawa'a during the summer transfer window.[2] He has so far impressed at the capital club; his first two goals were against his employers in the 2009 Libyan Super Cup defeat. He haunted Shat again in the league when he struck against them in the derby match, with a dramatic 93rd-minute equaliser. He has since scored in each round of matches (as of Round 6), apart from the 2-0 defeat to Khaleej Sirte. He so far has 6 goals in 6 league games, and was the top scorer at the mid-season break, with 10 goals.
As Al Tarsana embarked on their first continental competition in 2009–10, Krawa'a scored The Arsenal's first goal in a CAF competition, calmly converting a 95th-minute penalty against CR Belouizdad to earn his side a first-leg 1–1 draw.
International career[edit]
On 5 October 2009, Krawa'a made his debut for the Libyan national team in a friendly match against Kuwait. He managed to grab an 88th-minute equaliser, hence scoring on his international debut.[3]
