Mounir Hamoud (Arabic: منير حمود; 1 February 1985 – 12 February 2024) was a professional footballer.[1] He was a versatile player who could play both in defence or midfield, most often as a right-back.

Career[edit]

In 2004 and 2005 Hamoud played in the Norwegian top division for FC Lyn Oslo. Born in Morocco, he was capped by Norway at the U18, U19, and U21 levels.[2] In 2006, he joined Bodø/Glimt where he spent six seasons.

Hamoud was called up to the Norway senior national team on 27 January 2009, as a part of caretaker coach Egil Olsen's squad against Germany, but remained on the bench as an unused substitute.[3][4]

Hamoud signed for Strømsgodset prior to the 2012 season. With 54 league matches, he became an important part of the team that won the 2013 Tippeligaen, and secured 2nd and 4th place in 2012 and 2014, respectively. When his contract expired after the 2014 season, he was released from the club. On 15 January 2015, he signed a new three-year deal with the club.[5] After the 2019 season, he retired from football.

Later life and death[edit]

Hamoud resided in Skoger, was a children's coach in Skoger IL[6] and played briefly for the men's team on the eighth tier of Norwegian football.[7] Ahead of the 2024 season, he was hired as the new player developer of Strømsgodset.[6] On 12 February 2024, Strømsgodset announced that he died suddenly in Drammen, Norway. He was 39.[8]
