Habib El Waslati ignites the Stars League with a marathon goal

Tunisian star Habib Al-Waslaty has become the talk of the sports community in Iraq and the Arab world after a magical night yesterday, leading his team, Nawruz, to a deserved victory over Al-Minaa with two goals to nil, in the tenth round of the Iraqi Premier League.

A night where Al-Waslati etched his name in gold, proving that true talent doesn't need noise, but just one moment to announce itself.

Woslaty, 29, has joined Norouz from Al Talaba during the last summer transfer window, in a deal worth around $300,000.

The figure seems very low today compared to what the Tunisian boy offers on the pitch. What Habib does on the field goes beyond the language of numbers and contracts; he is a player who makes a difference with a touch and changes the game in a moment.

In the current season, Wosleti has scored 3 goals for Nowruz and provided an assist for his teammates, but the most important aspect is the impact, presence, and character he has imposed within the team.

The match featuring Al-Mina was a complete artistic display. He scored a brace, the first showcasing his scoring instinct, while the second was a football masterpiece, a bicycle kick that soared through the air before finding the back of the net, a goal that will remain etched in the memories of the fans for a long time and deserves to be the goal of the season without a doubt.

Habib El Ouslati has played in Iraq since the 2024-2025 season, where he spent two seasons with Al Talaba. During this time, he scored 5 goals and assisted his teammates with 8 goals in 61 matches across the league and cup.

His days with the elegant club were not smooth, as administrative problems surrounded the team and affected everyone. Al-Waslati suffered greatly from the delay in receiving his financial dues, which clearly impacted his mental stability and performance on the pitch.

But despite the darkness, his brilliance never faded. His magical touches and standout goals were always the bright spot in the student season, which made him the focus of clubs searching for gems.

Now it was the turn of coach Wali Karim, who believed in the abilities of Al-Waslaty wholeheartedly, making him one of the key pillars in the ambitious Nowruz project this season. He gave him confidence, and he delivered brilliance. He handed him the key, and he opened the doors to glory.

Today, Al-Waslaty has become one of the standout stars of the Iraqi league, and he is the strongest and most likely candidate to win the Player of the Round 10 award after his stunning brace.

He has become one of the most important names in the Iraqi Premier League, a star that clubs are vying for.

According to the contract between Al-Waslaty and Nawruz, his association with the team will end in the summer of 2027. He is expected to receive much higher financial offers, especially from clubs in northern Iraq, alongside the capital giants Al-Shorta and Al-Karama, who have already begun to place the player on their radar.

Nowruz is, in itself, the story of the season. The mountain team, which some considered a guest, has today become the happy surprise of the league, sitting in second place with 21 points, just two points behind leaders Al-Karmah, and ahead of big names like Al-Zawraa, Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, and Al-Shorta.
