Mohamed Fares Al Arnaout (Arabic: محمد فارس الأرناؤوط; born 31 January 1997) is a Syrian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Syrian Premier League club Al-Fotuwa and the Syria national team.

Club career

Arnaout previously played for Al-Jazeera, Al-Jaish, Hutteen in Syria. He won the Syrian Cup, Syrian Premier League and Syrian Super Cup in his first season with Al-Jaish. In the years to come, he would establish himself as a key member of the squad – winning the Syrian League again the following season in 2018/19.

Arnaout joined Bahraini outfit Al-Muharraq and clinched the 2021 AFC Cup title. He later joined Manama Club in the same league.

Goa

In July 2022, Indian Super League outfit Goa completed the permanent signing of Arnaout on a one-year deal.

"I am thrilled at the prospect of playing for FC Goa. It's a big challenge for me – to come to India and show people what I am all about and I'm already excited thinking about the start of the new season."

— Arnaout, after signing with Goa.

International career

On 8 July 2019, Arnaout made his international debut for Syria against North Korea in a 5–2 win in the 2019 Intercontinental Cup, where they achieved third place.

Arnaout captained the Syria U23 side to the quarter-finals of the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship. The tournament saw Syria brave the odds to qualify from a group that had Asian powerhouses in Saudi Arabia, Japan and Qatar. They eventually bowed out of the tournament in the quarter-finals, losing to Australia in extra time.
