Early career

edit

Al-Tmaizi first picked up the sport during his schooling days, before joining the 6 Yard Football Academy, and later joining Jordan Knights.[1][2] He gained his nickname during his youth days when he initially referred to the sport as "gaya", to which his youth manager started to refer to Al-Tmaizi as Gaya and it subsequently stuck with him in later years.[1]

Al-Hussein

On 27 January 2026, Al-Tmaizi signed his first professional contract with Al-Hussein for three and a half seasons.[3] On 6 February 2026, he made his debut for the club as a substitute and went on to score a goal on their 5–1 victory against Shabab Al-Ordon.[4][5] On 8 May 2026, Al-Tmaizi won the Jordanian Pro League title with Al-Hussein after only playing one match with them.[6]

International career

Al-Tmaizi began his international career as a Jordan under-15 player.[7] He participated in the 2023 WAFF U-15 Championship held in Salalah,[8] where he scored two goals against Saudi Arabia.[9] He was then called-up to the under-17 team ahead of the 2025 AFC U-17 Asian Cup qualification.[10][11]

Al-Tmaizi received his first under-20 call-up in 2025,[12] where he participated in two friendlies against Russia on 13 and 15 November.[13]
