Adam Ounas: Algeria and France Winger Leaves Al-Shamal to Become Free Agent After Qatar Spell Ends

Adam Ounas has left Al-Shamal SC and is now officially without a club after his contract with the Qatari side ended on 2026-07-01, making the Algeria and France right winger a free agent with a current market value of €1.30m. The move sees the 29-year-old depart the Qatar Stars League for “Without Club,” confirming his status on the open market and allowing him to negotiate a new deal with any interested side. With no transfer fee involved, the separation from Al-Shamal was completed on a free as his agreement with the club expired on 2026-07-01.

The transfer is registered as a completed move from Al-Shamal SC, who compete in the Qatar Stars League, to “Without Club” in a non-specified competition and country (listed as N/A). This formal change of status underlines that Ounas is no longer tied to a professional club contract, bringing his time in Qatar to a definitive close and opening the door to a potential move abroad once more.

Ounas, born in Chambray-lès-Tours and holding both Algerian and French nationality, is primarily an attacking right winger and operates mainly on the right side of the attack, preferring his left foot. Standing at 1.72m, he is known for his low centre of gravity and technical style, traits that previously made him a sought-after attacking option in various leagues before his stint in Qatar.

While his most recent club is Al-Shamal in the Stars League, formal records now list his current club as “Without Club” and his national team status likewise as “Without Club,” reinforcing that he is unattached at both club and national-team employer level. The transfer data specifies no fee for the move and confirms only the change of registration; no contract end date is registered beyond his free-agent status, and there is no new club contract on record.

No recent match details, appearances, goal tallies or assist numbers are provided in the available data for his last season at Al-Shamal, and there is no statistical breakdown of his contributions in Qatar. Equally, no information is given on specific opponents, scorelines or individual performances in recent fixtures, limiting the assessment of his on-field impact in the most recent campaign to his presence in the Stars League rather than concrete numbers.

Despite the lack of performance statistics, Ounas remains a player of notable pedigree. His dual Algerian and French nationality and his experience as a right winger in different football environments add to his profile as he enters the market as a free agent. With a market value of €1.30m, he represents a potentially accessible attacking option for clubs seeking creativity on the flank without paying a transfer fee.

The next step in his career will depend on which club opts to take advantage of his availability. For now, the confirmed move from Al-Shamal SC to free-agent status marks a clear turning point. Where Ounas signs next will go a long way to shaping the final prime years of his career, defining his reputation and determining how fully he can still realise his potential in the professional game.
