Haitam Aleesami (Arabic: هيثم العصامي; born 31 July 1991) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for KFUM Oslo.
Club career
Aleesami was born in Oslo and started playing football for Holmlia SK and later Skeid. He joined Skeid's first-team squad in 2010, playing in the Second Division, and was named "Skeid's best young player of the year" in 2011.
In August 2012, he joined Fredrikstad FK to replace Benjamin Dahl Hagen who had returned to Vålerenga after a loan-spell. Aleesami made his debut in Tippeligaen and assisted Tarik Elyounoussi's goal when Fredrikstad won 2–0 in the match against Tromsø on 5 August 2012.
On 18 August 2014, he signed a four-year contract with Swedish club IFK Göteborg. He joined the club in the pre-season before the 2015 season.
On 8 August 2016, he signed with Palermo.
On 17 October 2020, he joined Russian Premier League club FC Rostov. He left Rostov on 19 May 2021.
On 16 August 2021, he signed a two-year contract with Apollon Limassol in Cyprus.
Personal life
Haitam's younger brother Ayoub Aleesami also plays football. While Ayoub and Haitam have similar appearances, the latter is vastly more known due to him playing internationally, thus Ayoub is often confused for Haitam in the street.
