Early life
Born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, Tamim started playing football aged eight with her older brother and his friends.[3] Aged 10, she started playing for FC Beirut's boys academy,[4] stating that she "did not know that a girls team existed back then".[3] Three years later, aged 13, she was scouted by Girls Football Academy (GFA) while playing football in her school, and joined the team.[4]
Club career
Coming through the youth system, Tamim spent three seasons at GFA playing in the Lebanese Women's Football League.[4] She moved to Stars Association for Sports (SAS) – the league reigning champions – in 2018.[4] Tamim helped SAS to a second-place finish at the inaugural 2019 WAFF Women's Clubs Championship; she described it as her favourite international experience.[4]
On 27 May 2022, Tamim signed for the Lander Bearcats, the football team of Lander University in the United States.[5]
International career
Tamin had represented Lebanon internationally at under-17 and under-19 level,[4] before making her senior debut on 8 November 2018,[6] in a 8–0 defeat to Iran in the 2020 Summer Olympics qualifiers.[7] She scored her first goal on 7 January 2019,[6] with Lebanon losing to Bahrain 3–2 in the 2019 WAFF Championship.[8] Tamim scored three goals, and helped Lebanon finish in third place.[6]
On 24 October 2021, Tamim scored a brace in a 2022 AFC Asian Cup qualification game against Guam, which ended in a 3–0 win.[9] She was called up to the 2024 WAFF Women's Championship.[10]
Personal life
Tamim studied three years at the American University of Beirut, with a focus in nutrition and dietetics.[3][4] Shortly after a 10-month internship at a hospital in Lebanon, Tamim became a licensed dietitian.[3]
While playing for the Lander Bearcats in 2022, Tamim majored in business administration and worked part-time as a graduate assistant at Lander University in Greenwood, South Carolina.[3]
