Club career

On 12 January 2019, Sumar Almadjed moved to Superettan side Landskrona BoIS. After starring with his team, he earned a move to newly promoted Allsvenskan side Helsingborgs IF in January 2022 ahead of the 2022 Allsvenskan season. In February 2022, Sumar picked up an injury that ruled him out until the very last day of the season, where he came on against Hammarby IF in the second half.

International career

Born in Sweden to parents from Nasiriya, Iraq, both Sumar and his father, Abdulrazzak Almadjed, have confirmed that Sumar is available for selection for Iraq.[2][3] However, both injuries and managers not selecting him have prevented him from joining up with the squad and making his international debut, the last time being called up by Željko Petrović in February 2022 for the initial squad of the 2022 AFC World Cup qualification games in February, but got injured before international duty and therefore missed the season for Helsingborgs IF as well as the matches for Iraq.
