Atef Hussein (), sometimes referred to as Atef Abu Zaid (so as not to be confused with Al Akhdar midfielder Atef Hussain), is a Libyan footballer, currently playing for Al Ittihad in the Libyan Premier League. Club Career Hussein started his career with Al Yarmouk of Janzour in the Libyan Second Division. His talent earned him a move to the one-time champions. Hussein was signed in the summer of 2007. In his first season in the top flight, he was used sporadically, but still managed to score four goals. In 2008, he scored seven goals in the first nine matches of the season, including a brilliant hat-trick against Al Sweahly. His goals earned him interest from the top clubs, and a LYD 400,000 fee was agreed with Al Ittihad for his services in the January transfer window.
