Aram Karam (Arabic: آرَام كَرَم; 1 July 1929 – 2 April 2023) was an Iraqi footballer, who earned a reputation for scoring goals from apparently impossible long-range situations.
[1] Aram was a striker capable of having the ball in the back of the net within a blink of an eye.
Aram proved to be a valuable player on the day as he scored Iraq’s first goal and ended the game with a hat-trick but was unable to prevent a 7–5 defeat.
In 1960 Aram retired and became head of sports at the club while also helping the Iraqi national team.
Karam emigrated to the United States in 1992, and resided in Turlock, California.
