Yussef Suleiman (Arabic: يوسف سليمان, also transcribed as Sleman) (September 17, 1986 – February 20, 2013) was a Syrian football player.
Suleiman was born in Homs and last played for Al-Wathba SC. He was killed by a mortar shell fired by the armed opposition during the Syrian civil war, while preparing for training practice inside a hotel in the Baramkeh neighbourhood.[1] The attack occurred a few hours before the team was to play a league game against the Hama-based Al-Mawaair club at the Tishreen Stadium in Damascus.[2] His teammates reported that he was the father of a six-month-old baby. FIFA president Sepp Blatter expressed his condolences in an open letter to the Syrian Football Association over the matter.[3]
He played for Al Karamah in the 2008 AFC Champions League knockout stages.[4][5][6]
