Oussama Tannane (Arabic: أسامة طنان; born 23 March 1994) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a winger for Qatari club Umm Salal. A youth international for the Netherlands, he plays for the Morocco national team.
Heerenveen
Tannane made his Eredivisie league debut for SC Heerenveen during the 2012–13 season. At the end of the season, he was released and signed with Heracles Almelo.
Heracles Almelo
On 22 August 2015, Tannane scored four goals in one half during Heracles' 6–1 win away to SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden.[1]
Saint-Étienne
Tannane signed with Ligue 1 side AS Saint-Étienne in January 2016. In his first game with Saint-Étienne, he scored and gave assists twice, contributing greatly to his club's 4–1 victory against Ligue 1 club Bordeaux.
Las Palmas (loan)
On 1 September 2017, Tannane joined La Liga club UD Las Palmas on a season-long loan deal, which includes a buyout option.[2] He returned after only two months, later claiming he did not know that Las Palmas is located on an island and that he should never have joined them.[3]
Utrecht (loan)
In August 2018, Tannane again left Saint-Étienne on loan, joining Eredivisie club FC Utrecht.[4]
Vitesse
On 12 July 2019, Tannane signed a three-year contract at Eredivisie club Vitesse.[5] He made his debut for his new club in Vitesse's first game of the 2019–20 Eredivisie season, a 2–2 draw with Ajax.[6] On 29 September 2019, Tannane scored his first goal for Vitesse, a late game-winning penalty in a 2–1 away victory against Eredivisie strugglers RKC Waalwijk.[7]
Tannane started the 2020–21 season in fine form, scoring a long-range free kick in a 2–0 win against Sparta Rotterdam in Vitesse's first home game of the campaign.[8] On 18 October 2020, Tannane was sent off by referee Richard Martens in the first half of an Eredivisie match against ADO Den Haag, after receiving two yellow cards in quick succession for dissent.[9] In his first match back after suspension, Tannane netted a brace in a 3–1 win against Emmen to keep Vitesse level on points with Ajax at the summit of the table.[10]
In January 2022 it was announced Vitesse terminated his contract.[11]
Göztepe
On 8 January 2022, Tannane signed with Göztepe in Turkey.[12]
NEC
On 21 June 2022, Tannane returned to the Netherlands and signed a two-year contract with former club Vitesse's local rivals NEC.[13] Four minutes into his debut and first game back in the Eredivisie, Tannane let fly from the halfway line, beating the outstretched hands of Twente keeper Lars Unnerstall but narrowly missing the goal, instantly winning him over to the NEC faithful.[14]
Umm Salal
On 22 June 2023, Tannane signed for Qatar Stars League club Umm Salal on a two-year deal.[15]
International career
Tannane was born in Morocco, but moved to Netherlands at a young age. He represented the Netherlands U21s. In March 2016, he was called up to the Morocco national football team for 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches against Cape Verde, and made his debut on 26 March in a 1–0 win.[16]
He was part of Morocco's A' squad at the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup, where he scored the first goal from his own half in a 3–2 win after extra time over Jordan in the final.[17]
