Saidou Alioum Moubarak (born 25 July 2003) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Omonia in the Cypriot First Division, on loan from Hammarby IF.

Early life[edit]

Alioum was born in Maroua, in the Far North Region of Cameroon, and started his career with local club Sahel FC in the domestic regional leagues.[2]

Club career[edit]

Hammarby IF[edit]

On 22 July 2022, Alioum joined Hammarby TFF in Sweden's third tier Ettan, the feeder team of Allsvenskan club Hammarby IF, on a six-month loan.[3] He made 11 league appearances for Hammarby TFF, scoring five goals, helping the side to finish 6th in the 2022 Ettan table.[4]

On 30 January 2023, Alioum completed a permanent transfer to Hammarby, being part of their senior squad, signing a four-year contract.[5][6] On 5 March the same year, he made his competitive debut for the club, coming on as a substitute in an 8–0 home win against GIF Sundsvall in Svenska Cupen.[7][8] About a week later, he once again came on as a substitute in a 2–1 win against local rival AIK in the quarter-final of Svenska Cupen.[9]

On 14 September 2023, after suffering from limited playing time, Alioum was sent on a one year-loan to Omonia Nicosia in the Cypriot First Division, with an option to buy.[10] He made his debut just two days later, coming on as a substitute in a goalless draw at AEL Limassol.[11] On 7 October, he scored his first goal for Omonia in a home draw against AEZ Zakakiou.[12] He was named the most valuable player in the Nicosia derby on 16 March 2024.[13] On 10 April, he scored Omonia's third goal in the first leg of the Cypriot Cup semi-finals against Aris Limassol.[14]

International career[edit]

In April 2019, Alioum was called up to Cameroon's squad for the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations. He made five appearances throughout the tournament, that Cameroon eventually went on to win.[15][16][17]

In 2021, Alioum represented Cameroon in the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations. He made three appearances, before his country was knocked out by Ghana on penalties in the quarter-finals.[18]

Style of play[edit]

Alioum mainly operates as a winger.[19]
