Khaled Hussein Mohamed al Tarhouni (born 24 February 1977) is a Libyan football midfielder.
After his performance in the first season, Hussein was selected for the squad that was to play at the 1998 Arab Nations Cup in Qatar.
He emerged as an important player for the national team after that, and scored his first international goal against Kenya on January 19, 2004.
Hussein has made 11 appearances in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
Many managers, such as Mahmoud Al-Sharif, Yousef Sidqi and the Tunisian Munsaf Arfaoui, built their teams around him and Tarik El Taib, and were committed to selecting him for the squad.
