Mahama Awal (Chinese: 艾あい華はな; born 10 June 1991) is a professional footballer who currently plays as a winger for Hong Kong Premier League club Southern. Born in Cameroon, he plays for the Hong Kong national team.

Club career

[edit]

Awal joined China League One club Guangdong Sunray Cave in 2009. On 10 May 2009, he scored his first senior goal in the league match against Liaoning Whowin.[1] He played with Guangdong Sunray Cave for six seasons, scoring 31 goals in 128 league appearances.

Awal transferred to Hong Kong Premier League side South China in January 2015. He made his debut for South China on 11 January against arch rival Kitchee. He scored the game-tying goal in the injury time which gave South China a 2-2 draw with Kitchee.[2]

On 11 June 2017, Pegasus chairperson Canny Leung revealed that Awal along with three other South China players would be jumping ship to Pegasus.[3]

On 8 July 2019, it was confirmed that Awal had left Pegasus after two seasons.[4]

On 13 January 2020, Awal returned to Pegasus.[5] His second stay, however, was cut short due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic which caused the 2019–20 season to be suspended. On 8 April 2020, Awal agreed to a mutual termination with Pegasus.[6]

On 29 July 2022, Awal joined Southern.[7]

International career

[edit]

On 20 March 2023, Awal officially announced that he had received a Hong Kong passport after giving up his Cameroonian passport, making him eligible to represent Hong Kong internationally.[8] He was then subsequently called up for international friendlies against Singapore and Malaysia for Hong Kong at the same day.[9]

On 23 March 2023, Awal made his international debut for Hong Kong against Singapore.
