The Amman-born forward started his career with Shabab Al Ordon before impressing with Al Jazeera in the AFC Cup™. His performances earned him a move to Cypriot giants APOEL in 2018, beginning a European journey which took him to Belgium with OH Leuven.

His influence has been even more pronounced with the national team, particularly at Qatar 2023 where Jordan produced their best-ever performance in the continental showpiece.
Al Taamari scored twice in the 4-0 group stage victory over Malaysia before delivering one of the defining performances of the tournament in the semi-final against Korea Republic.
With the contest goalless, he supplied the pass for Yazan Al Naimat to open the scoring before sealing a famous 2-0 victory with a superb individual effort, carrying the ball forward before finding the bottom corner.
The victory sent Jordan into the AFC Asian Cup™ final for the first time, with their remarkable campaign eventually ending in a 3-1 defeat to hosts Qatar.
Al Taamari has since helped Jordan qualify for their first FIFA World Cup, scoring against Argentina at the 2026 Finals.
With his experience and ability to deliver on the big stage, Jordan will again look to Al Taamari as they target another memorable run at Saudi Arabia 2027.
