Iyed Hadj Khalifa: Tunisia striker joins Al-Najaf FC from Dinamo Tbilisi

Tunisia centre-forward Iyed Hadj Khalifa has joined Al-Najaf FC from Dinamo Tbilisi on a free transfer, completing a move from Georgia to Iraq.

The 26-year-old Sousse-born striker switched clubs on 10 August 2026 after representing Dinamo Tbilisi in the Erovnuli Liga. His arrival gives Al-Najaf an experienced attacking addition as the Iraqi club welcomes a player whose preferred position is at the heart of the forward line.

Hadj Khalifa stands at 1.92m and is right-footed. Those details underline the profile of the player Al-Najaf have brought in, with the Tunisian joining after his spell with one of Georgia’s established clubs.

The move represents a new stage in Hadj Khalifa’s career, taking him from the Georgian domestic game into Iraqi football. Al-Najaf have secured his services without paying a transfer fee, with the transfer recorded as a free move rather than a loan.

Hadj Khalifa’s nationality and playing position also add a clear international dimension to the transfer. He becomes a Tunisian attacking option for Al-Najaf, while his previous experience in the Erovnuli Liga provides the immediate background to his arrival.

The striker’s market value is listed at €200,000, although Al-Najaf have completed the deal without a fee. No contract expiry date has been announced, so the length of his agreement with the Iraqi club is not part of the transfer details.

Hadj Khalifa is now an Al-Najaf FC player following his completed free transfer from Dinamo Tbilisi.
