Mohammad Hussein El Hayek (Arabic: محمد حسين الحايك; born 19 February 2000) is a Lebanese footballer who plays as a full-back for Iraq Stars League club Newroz, on loan from Lebanese Premier League club Nejmeh, and the Lebanon national team.
On 8 August 2019, Ahed sent El Hayek on a one-year loan to Safa ahead of the 2019–20 Lebanese Premier League season.[2]
He was reportedly sent on a one-year loan to Tadamon Sour for the 2022–23 season.[3] However, it was later discovered that El Hayek's contract with Tadamon was not a loan, as the Lebanese Football Association did not allow clubs to send more than three players on loan at the same time. Instead, the player became a free agent during the 2022 summer transfer window and signed for Tadamon on a one-year contract, with the condition that he would return to Ahed in summer 2023. In July 2023, El Hayek reportedly refused to sign for Ahed.[4] He eventually signed for Bourj on 18 July.[5]
Following the end of his contract at Bourj, Hayek signed a three-year deal with Safa.[6]
On 10 January 2026, Hayek transferred to Nejmeh, who promptly loaned him to Newroz in the Iraq Stars League for the remainder of the 2024–25 season.[7]
El Hayek represented Lebanon at under-23 level,[1] playing at the 2023 WAFF Championship.[8] He made his international senior debut on 30 December 2022, in a 1–0 friendly defeat to the United Arab Emirates.[1][9]
