Club career

El Choum began his senior career at Lebanese Premier League side Ansar, during the 1997–98 season.[1] In his first season at the club, El Choum won three trophies: a league title, a Lebanese Elite Cup, the club's first, and a Lebanese Super Cup.[1][2] The following season, in 1998–99, El Choum won his second consecutive league title with Ansar, as well as a Lebanese FA Cup.[1][2] In 1999, El Choum lifted Ansar's first Lebanese Federation Cup, as well as a Lebanese Super Cup.[2]

At the turn of the millennium, El Choum continued to win trophies with Ansar, helping his side win both the Elite Cup and Federation Cup during the 2000–01 season.[2] For the following four seasons Ansar would remain trophyless, until the 2005–06, when El Choum won a domestic double with Ansar, lifting both the league title and the FA Cup.[1][2] He would once again help Ansar win another domestic double, in 2006–07.[1][2]

El Choum would further help Ansar win two more FA Cups, in 2009–10 and 2011–12, before his retirement in 2015.[1] The Lebanese left-back won a total of four league titles, six FA Cups, two Elite Cups, two Federation Cups, and four Super Cups during his 14-season stay at Ansar.[1][2]

El Choum made his senior international debut for Lebanon on 28 November 2003, in a 2004 AFC Asian Cup qualifier against Iran.[1] Lebanon lost the encounter 1–0.[3] El Choum's first victory with Lebanon came in his following match, on 8 February 2004, in a friendly against Bahrain.[1] He helped Lebanon win 2–1.[4] El Choum played 18 games with Lebanon, between 2003 and 2008.[1]
