Mohamed Bettamer

Bettamer was born in Camden,[4] to a Libyan father and a Moroccan mother.[5]

Bettamer began his career in the youth team at London Tigers, where he made his senior debut. In 2010 he joined Watford on a one-year scholarship but was not offered a professional contract.[5] He then returned to London Tigers before joining Hayes & Yeading United, making his debut in November 2011.[6].Bettamer was unable to hold down a first team spot with the Conference Premier side and joined Bedfont Town on loan before being released in March 2012.[7] He then spent the remainder of the season with North Greenford United.[8] He played with Hampton & Richmond Borough in 2012–13,[8] before trials at Dagenham & Redbridge,[9] and Maidenhead United.[10] He then played in Libya with Al-Ahly (Benghazi), with whom he reached the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League.[5] After a break from football, he then joined Staines Town, with whom he scored 42 goals in 89 games,[11][12] and later played for Braintree Town, before a move to Salford City fell through.[13]

He has represented Libya at under-18, under-20 and under-23 youth levels.[5] He was called-up by the senior team in November 2020.[5] He debuted for the senior Libya national team in a 3–2 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification loss to Equatorial Guinea on 11 November 2020, scoring his team's second goal in his debut.[17]

At the 2018 CONIFA World Football Cup, he represented the Barawa football team, scoring twice in five games. As he was added to the team after the tournament started, and as he was not of Somali descent, his inclusion caused a controversy which resulted in the Ellan Vannin football team, who had protested, to be disqualified from the tournament.[18]

Primarily a centre forward, Bettamer can also play as a left winger.[12]
