Aras Özbiliz (Armenian: Արաս Օզբիլիզ; born 9 March 1990) is a former professional footballer who played as a winger.

Prior to moving to Ajax as a youth, he played for HVV Hollandia in his home town of Hoorn where he grew up.

On 24 July 2007, in a friendly match against Argentinean club Independiente, he managed to score three goals within 7 minutes, which turned out to be a personal record.

[15] A few days before the UEFA Champions League match with the Italian club A.C. Milan, Özbiliz had a flu,[16] and so he could not make his debut in the main European Cup tournament.

By this time, the new acting head coach Frank de Boer was appointed, as Martin Jol resigned before the match with Milan.

[17] On 22 December, Frank de Boer announced the list of 18 players registered for the upcoming KNVB Cup match with AZ.

Özbiliz scored his first league goal on 3 April 2011 in the 80th minute in a 3–0 home win against Heracles Almelo.

On 31 March 2013, Özbiliz scored a swerving, dipping goal from 35 yards away in a match against Spartak Moscow that ended 2–2.

[30] In July 2013 it was announced that Özbiliz had signed a five-year contract with Spartak Moscow, with Kuban Krasnodar earning €10 million on the transfer fee.

[34] Later Özbiliz suggested this treatment may be a case of anti-Armenian sentiment by Yakin, ethnic Turk, stating he had learned of being relegated to the reserve team on the centenary of the Armenian genocide.

He immediately started working in Pyunik Yerevan, allowing the head coach of the team Vardan Minasyan to get closely acquainted with him.

[45] In training, Özbiliz was also presented with the coach of the Armenian national team, Dane Flemming Serritslev.

[45] He noted that the Özbiliz made a good impression, but as of now he could not play for the national team because he had a problem with his documents.

[46] In early February 2011, the Armenian head coach Minasyan said Özbiliz was going to choose between the teams of Armenia and the Netherlands.

Özbiliz was quoted as saying, "Netherlands might be a good choice in sporting terms but my heart beats for Armenia.

[55] On 4 October 2011, on order of the President Serzh Sargsyan, Özbiliz received Armenian citizenship and became a player of the Armenia national football team.
