Abdul Khalili

Abdul Rahman "Abbe" Khalili (Arabic: عبد الرحمن خليلي; born 7 June 1992) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder.

In the summer of 2015, he reportedly attracted interest from Spanish club Real Betis and other Turkish sides, but a transfer was not materialised due to a high asking price of around €5 million.

[7] The season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Khalili established himself as a starter, making 27 league appearances and scoring twice, although his side disappointedly finished 8th in the table.

[8][9] Before the start of the 2021 season, Khalili was appointed joint-captain of Hammarby together with Jeppe Andersen,[10] but was later replaced in role by head coach Miloš Milojević.

[12][13] The club reached the play-off of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League, where it was knocked out by Basel (4–4 on aggregate) after a penalty shoot-out, although Khalili scored in the first leg away.

[21] Khalili was part of the Sweden under-21 squad which won the 2015 European Championship, although his attempt in the final's penalty shootout was saved by Portugal's José Sá.

[22] He made his full international debut for Sweden on 8 September 2015 in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Austria at Friends Arena that ended in a 4–1 loss.
