Assile Toufaily (Template:Lang-ar; born 16 August 1996) is a Lebanese former footballer who played as a midfielder. She also played futsal.
Club career
Toufaily became interested in football aged six, in 2002, after attending a game between Ansar and Nejmeh in Beirut with her father and younger brother.[3] In November 2009, she took part in the "Football Festival" organised in Jordan by the Norwegian Football Federation.[3] Toufaily signed her first contract a few months later in 2010,[4] and played two seasons at Shabab Arabi's youth system.[3]
She spent the following years with three other clubs (GFA, SAS and Safa).[3] After having won two Lebanese Women's Football League titles with SAS in 2016–17 and 2018–19,[3] Toufaily signed for Safa in 2019.[5] During the 2020–21 season, she sustained an ACL injury, which forced her to retire in 2021.[3]
International career
Toufaily played for the Lebanon national team.[6]
Personal life
After her retirement as a player in 2021, Toufaily moved to Lyon, France, to study sociology of sport at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1.[3]
