Club career
editAl-Kahrabaa
editAmoori signed for Al-Kahrabaa in 2022, with his first season going on to become the most successful season in the club's history, ending the season in fifth place and securing qualification for the 2023–24 AFC Cup. That team also included future national team stars Ali Jasim and Mustafa Saadoon, who were both signed by Iraqi giants Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in the summer.[2]
Amoori made his continental debut in September 2023 in Al-Kahrabaa's opening group game of the AFC Cup against Kuwait SC. He would go on to play every single match of the campaign as his side were eliminated in the zonal semi-finals to Lebanese club Al-Ahed. In the summer of 2024, Al-Kahrabaa renewed his contract for a third season, holding onto the player despite interest from Iraq's biggest clubs.[3]
In the 2024–25 Iraq Stars League, Faisal was a key player for Al-Kahrabaa, playing all across the midfield, defensive to attacking, and on both wings throughout the season, scoring 4 goals. His standout performances earned him praise throughout the country, with Duhok manager Mesut Meral publicly stating his admiration for the young midfielder, who he predicted would be a star in the future and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya having a $200,000 offer for him rejected, with the club president stating he wouldn't even sell to Borussia Dortmund in the winter transfer window after the club received several offers from Iraq and abroad for the youth international.[4]
