Charbel Awni Shamoon (Arabic:شربل شمعون, Syriac:ܫܡܥܘܢ ܫܲܪܒܹܝܠ; born 10 February 2004) is a professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Western United. Born in Australia, he represents Iraq at youth international level.

Club career

Shamoon made his A-League debut in February 2024 as a 59th-minute substitute in a 2–0 loss away to Wellington Phoenix. Six days later, he made his starting debut in a 2–0 win against Newcastle.

After making seven appearances in his debut season with Western United, he was rewarded with his first professional contract in September 2024, ahead of the 2024–25 season.

International career

Iraq U20

Eligible to represent Australia and Iraq, Shamoon obtained an Iraqi passport in December 2022. He was called up to a training camp of the Iraq U20 national team in Ukraine in 2022. He was then called up to the Iraq squad that travelled to Uzbekistan for the 2023 AFC U-20 Asian Cup. Despite picking up a red-card, leading to a three-game suspension, Shamoon helped Iraq to reach the final, to be beaten by the hosts, achieving qualification to the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Having participated in the training camp in Cadiz that preceded the tournament, Shamoon was not selected for the final squad.

Australia U23

Since the U-20 Asian Cup, Shamoon had not been selected by any of Iraq's national teams. This, along with his performances for the first team at Western United, led to Shamoon being selected by the Australia U23 towards the end of 2024.

Iraq

After being called up to the Australian U23 set-up, Iraq senior national team manager Jesús Casas attempted to call up Shamoon for the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup, but his club rejected to release him for international duty.
