Omar Jehad Al Somah (Arabic: عُمَر جِهَاد السُّومَة; born 23 March 1989) is a Syrian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Saudi Pro League club Al-Orobah and the Syria national team.

Nicknamed in Syria as Al ʿAggied (Arabic: الْعَكِيْد) which is a historical civil character in Damascus known for participating in the resistance against occupiers and for being courageous, helpful, and generous.

[2][3] Al Somah started his career at local club Al-Futowa, before joining Kuwaiti side Qadsia in 2011.

[8] His trial with Nottingham occurred during the ownership of Kuwaiti businessman Fawaz Al-Hasawi, alongside his fellow national teammate Firas Al-Khatib.

[9] Despite coach Sean O'Driscoll's desire to keep the player, his proposed transfer collapsed due to his inability to obtain a work permit.

This was due to specific conditions required in English football, including his country's FIFA ranking and the number of international matches he had played in the last two years.

In the meantime, it was proposed that he could play for six months in France before joining the English club, but he refused, preferring a higher salary with Al Qadsia to support his family.

[15] Later that year, on 27 May, he netted a brace in a 2–1 victory over Naft Tehran in the AFC Champions League knockout stage round of 16 second leg, yet his club were eliminated on away goals rule.

[16] In the 2015–16 season, Al Somah scored 27 goals in the Pro League, securing his club's first title in 32 years.

[24] On 12 May 2023, he scored a brace for Al-Arabi in a 3–0 win over Al Sadd in the Emir Cup final, to be their first title in the competition in over 30 years.

[36] In December 2023, he announced his retirement from international football, after being excluded by coach Héctor Cúper from the squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.

[37] After a few days, he reversed his decision to retire, explaining that his initial announcement was made out of anger and frustration, and stated that he would be ready to represent Syria whenever called up for international duty.
