Mohammed "Good Fellah" Fellah (born May 24, 1989 in Oslo) is a Norwegian footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Vålerenga. Fellah scored in his debut for Vålerenga in Tippeligaen on September 10, 2006 in a match against Fredrikstad.
Of Moroccan descent, Fellah has also played for the Norway U-17 national team in qualifiers for the 2006 UEFA European U-17 Championship, scoring the first goal for Norway in their 3-1 win over Liechtenstein.[1] The Norwegian U-17 coach, Øyvind Nilsen, said in March 2006 that Fellah was the fourth best player of his age group, behind Kim André Madsen, Per Egil Flo and Tommy Høiland.[2]
Fellah was badly injured in an U18-match against Turkey in August (2007), where he broke his calf bone. Fellah required surgery, and lost the rest of the 2007 season. The injury would not heal properly, and the fall of 2008 he had to operate again. Fellah came back fully in the 2009 season where he played in total 23 games in Tippeligaen. He delivered at times very good performances, showing off his eminent shot technique on several occasions, as in the 4-1 victory against Lyn in September, 2009.
Fellah has started all 14 games so far in the 2010 season of Tippeligaen and has been voted man of the match in three of the games by Norwegian newspaper VG. During this period he has also established himself as an important player in the central midfield of the U-21 team of Norway, and has even been tipped by the media to take the step up to the national team.
