Omar Bugiel
Omar Khaled Chaaban (Arabic: عمر خالد شعبان; born 3 January 1994), commonly known as Omar Bugiel, is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Chinese club Suzhou Dongwu. Born in Germany, he plays for the Lebanon national team.
Bugiel began his senior career with Selsey in 2011 before spells at Burgess Hill Town, Bognor Regis Town, and Worthing, where he established himself as a prolific goalscorer. He joined Forest Green Rovers in 2017, helping the club gain promotion to the EFL League Two through the National League play-offs. After a season in the Football League, he joined Bromley, initially on loan before signing permanently, and moved to Sutton United in 2019, helping them win the National League title and earn promotion to League Two in 2021. He joined AFC Wimbledon in 2023 and helped the club secure promotion to EFL League One in 2025, before signing for Suzhou Dongwu in 2026.
Internationally, Bugiel made his debut for Lebanon in 2017 and represented the nation at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.
Bugiel was born in Berlin, Germany, to Lebanese father Khaled and a Polish mother Ewa. He holds dual German-Lebanese citizenship, having obtained a Lebanese passport in 2017.
Having initially began playing cageball, Bugiel moved to Munich aged 11, and joined the youth team of 1860 Munich; he was released by the club in 2009. He moved to England the following year aged 16 with the aim of learning English, and enrolled at Chichester College in Sussex.
Bugiel was tutored by one of Paul Hinshelwood's sons—also named Paul—who noticed Bugiel's football skills while playing five-a-side at the college. Bugiel lodged at Hinshelwood's house for two and a half years, while part of the youth team at Chichester City.
Bugiel joined Selsey in 2011, coached by another one of Hinshelwood's sons (Adam).[citation needed] He played until 2013, including a one-year stint at Burgess Hill Town in 2012–13, before transferring to Bognor Regis Town.
In 2014, he moved Worthing, also coached by Adam Hinshelwood. He had prolific goalscoring form over four years at the Rebels, scoring 45 league goals in 103 appearances, and hitting double figures in each of his last three seasons.
