Anan Khalaily was born and raised in Haifa, Israel, to an Arab-Israeli family that immigrated to Haifa from Sakhnin.[2] His father Majdi Khalaily is also a former Arab-Israeli footballer and manager, who used to play as a goalkeeper.[3] His younger brother Eyad Khalaily is a fellow footballer of his, who plays for the youth squad of Israeli club Maccabi Haifa.[3][4]

Club career

Khalaili joined the academy of local side Beitar Haifa in 2012, spending two seasons before a move to Maccabi Haifa.[5] After a number of seasons with Maccabi Haifa, he spent the 2019–20 season with the Neve Yosef academy, where he scored twenty-five goals in twenty-four games, prompting Maccabi Haifa to recall him.[5] His father, who worked as a coach at Neve Yosef, stated that Maccabi Haifa had initially expected Khalaili to spend two seasons with the academy, but due to his performances, they requested him back after only one season.[5]
