Osama Jabbar Shafeeq Rashid (Arabic: أُسَامَة جَبَّار شَفِيق رَشِيد; born 17 January 1992) is an Iraqi professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Erbil SC and the Iraq national team.

He spent more than a decade with the youth setup of the club and was part of one of the most promising crops of players to ever graduate from the academy in recent years.

Other graduates included Stefan de Vrij, Jordy Clasie, Bruno Martins Indi, and Luc Castaignos amongst others.

Rashid suffered an Injury in the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Championship which prevented him from training with the first which he believes affected his chances with the first team.

In 2012, Wolfgang Sidka, a former Werder Bremen player who was coach of Iraq at the time, arranged a trial for Rashid at the Bundesliga club.

He was invited for another trial and was ultimately offered a contract by Werder Bremen, which he turned down citing his desire to finish his studies.

Rashid then scored in the next two games, against Famalicão and Oliveirense to help Santa Clara win promotion and reach Primeira Liga.

He missed the next four games on international duty at the 2019 Asian Cup, in which Iraq was knocked out in the round of sixteen by eventual champions Qatar.

In a press release, Santa Clara said it had accepted the athlete's "request to leave", who received a "proposal for an attractive project, both from a sporting and financial point of view".

The Azoreans also highlight that the Iraqi arrived in the Azores as a "perfect unknown" and who after five seasons became a "leading figure of the institution", a "son of the land" and a "living legend" of the club.
