Debut: 16/10/18 v Kuwait

Awer's footballing passion started as a young boy with his parents in a Kenyan refugee camp. After settling in Australia, Mabil utilised this natural ability, signing for local A-League side Adelaide United, and becoming one of the club's youngest debutants at 17 years and 118 days.

In 2015, Mabil secured a move to Europe, creating a home in Denmark with Danish champions FC Midtjylland.

Mabil came on as a substitute in Australia's 4-0 victory over Kuwait in October 2018, scoring a goal for himself on debut. However, the match was remembered for Mabil and childhood friend Thomas Deng, both refugees from South Sudan, making their international debuts in the same match.

Hyundai A-League connection:

Between 2012-2015, Awer Mabil became one of the league's most prolific wingers with hometown club Adelaide United.
