Mohamed Al-Taay

Mohamed Huseian Reda Khafaji Al Taay (Arabic: محمد الطائي, pronounced [mˤɑˈħmɑd ɑtˤˈtˤɑːʔiː]; born 15 June 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for A-League club Western Sydney Wanderers. Born in Australia, he plays for the Iraq national team.

Al-Taay was born in Campbelltown, New South Wales with two older brothers and one younger sister. His parents, who hailed from Iraq, fled to Australia in 1994 due to the conflicts under Saddam Hussein. His father fled Iraq in 1991 to a refugee camp in Saudi Arabia before moving to Australia.

Al-Taay began playing football at the age of six with his father and brothers and attended Campbelltown Performing Arts High School growing up. He joined his first football clubs with Blacktown City and Marconi Stallions in their junior age groups.

Despite being born in Australia, Al-Taay developed interest in representing the Iraq national football team. He is a devoted Muslim and frequently participates in Ramadan. Al-Taay is fluent in Arabic and English, having learnt the former first growing up.

Having come through the Western Sydney Wanderers academy and NPL program, Al-Taay joined Newcastle Jets ahead of the 2021–22 season, in the hope of breaking through for his A-League debut.

At the conclusion of the 2022–23 A-League season, Al-Taay departed Newcastle after 29 appearances in all competitions across two seasons.

Al-Taay signed for Wellington Phoenix ahead of the 2023–24 season. On 17 January 2025, Al-Taay was granted an early release from his contract with the Phoenix.

Following his mid-season release from Wellington, Al-Taay returned to the Western Sydney Wanderers, where he had previously been part of their youth academy.
