Ali Iyad Ali Olwan (Arabic:علي إياد علي علوان; born 26 March 2000) is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Qatar Stars League club Al-Sailiya and the Jordan national team.

Club career

Early career

Olwan was a product of Amman based clubs Al-Wehdat and later Al-Jazeera. In July 2020, he was promoted to Al-Jazeera's first time at the age of 18.

Al-Shamal

In January 2022, Olwan joined Qatar Stars League club Al-Shamal in a 2.5 years contract for a reported transfer fee of €200,000.

Selangor

Following his expiring contract with Al-Shamal, Olwan moved abroad to Malaysia and joined Malaysia Super League club Selangor on 5 August 2024. On 14 September, Olwan scored on his debut for the club in a 4–0 league win over Kuching City. During the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two fixture against Korean giants Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on 23 October 2024, Olwan scored a goal to secure a 2–1 win for Selangor.

Al-Karma

On 25 July 2025, Olwan joined Iraq Stars League club Al-Karma on a one-year $450,000 contract, with an option for an additional season.

Al-Sailiya

On 24 January 2026, Olwan returned to Qatar to join Al-Sailiya.

International career

On 12 November 2020, Olwan made his international debut with Jordan national team in a goalless friendly draw against Iraq.

On 4 September 2021, Olwan scored his first international goal against Bahrain at the Bahrain National Stadium. On 6 October 2021, Olwan scored his first professional career hat-trick in a 4–0 win against Malaysia at the Amman International Stadium. A month later, Olwan participated in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup, reaching the quarter-finals with Jordan.

In January 2024, Olwan was named in Jordan's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup that reached the final. He started in all three group stage games and then in two knockout stage games against Iraq and Tajikistan, before missing out the semi-finals due to yellow card accumulation. Despite having no goals during the competition, Olwan's ability to hold the ball and dribble in tight spaces made him a threat to the opponent's defense, liberating spaces for his teammates to score.

On 5 June 2025, he netted his second international hat-trick in a 3–0 away win over Oman during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, securing his nation's first-ever participation in the FIFA World Cup.

On 17 May 2026, Olwan was named in Jordan's 30-men preliminary squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. On 2 June, he was selected in the final 26-man squad for the tournament. Later that month, on 16 June, he scored his country's first-ever World Cup goal, equalizing against Austria in what ultimately ended as a 3–1 defeat.
