Karim Benyamina ( Arabic كريم بن يمينة) (Born December 18, 1981 in Dresden ) is an Algerian - German football player .

Club career

Beginnings in Berlin

Born in Dresden with Algerian roots, he started playing football in Berlin . His first position as a youth player was MSV Normannia 08 , which is based in the Märkisches Viertel , where Benyamina grew up. From there he moved to the neighboring 1. FC Lübars , where he befriended his future Union strike partner Shergo Biran . In 2000 he moved on to the Berlin AK 07 in the Oberliga Nordost and from there a year later to league competitor Reinickendorfer Füchse , with whom he surprisingly won the Berlin Cup in 2003 against the favorite tennis Borussia Berlin and thus won the first round of the DFB Cup qualified. There the very young team, trained by Christian Backs , was unfortunately defeated 0-2 by 1. FC Nürnberg .

Promotions with Union

A year later, Benyamina left the Füchse and joined SV Babelsberg 03 , where he was the third top scorer in the league with 18 goals in 33 games and thus aroused the interest of 1. FC Union Berlin , who had just moved from the regional soccer league to the Oberliga was relegated. At the beginning of the 2005/06 season he moved to the Unionern and was able to celebrate the return to the third division with the "Iron" . Benyamina herself was voted the best Berlin amateur player of the year by the Berlin Football Association this season .

After he held the class with Union in the following season, he qualified for the newly founded 3rd division in the 2007/08 season . In their premiere season 2008/09, Benyamina won the championship with the Unionern straight away and thus achieved promotion to the second Bundesliga . He was also able to win the Berlin Cup again with Union in 2007 and 2009.

In the second division Benyamina was less dangerous than in previous years. In the two seasons between 2009 and 2011, he scored only 13 goals in 58 league games. There was also new competition in the storm, especially from John Jairo Mosquera . Therefore, Benyamina's contract was not renewed after the 2010/11 season. With a total of 87 goals in 213 competitive games, he left the club as an all-time record goal scorer since the club was founded in 1966. Therefore, his shirt number 22 will not be awarded at Union until someone has broken this record.

Little playing time in Frankfurt and Karlsruhe

After his time at Union, Benyanmina left Berlin and switched to league rivals FSV Frankfurt for the 2011/12 season . At the start of the season he met his old club Union Berlin and scored the 1-1 goal in his first competitive game for the Bornheimers, against Karlsruher SC he followed up with a brace on matchday 6. These three goals were to remain this season, however, as the round went on, Benyamina was less and less in the starting line-up, especially after another striker, Ilijan Mizanski, was signed during the winter break .

Therefore, he moved to the third division club Karlsruher SC for the 2012/13 season . Although he managed his second overall promotion to the second division with the KSC, he himself could not contribute to this goal and was only used 13 times in the league. He was therefore given the approval for a change by the association. On December 2, 2013, his contract was dissolved there so that he could switch to the Algerian first division soccer club MC El Eulma . Only seven months after moving to Algeria, Benyamina returned to Berlin for the Berlin AK 07. In January 2016, Benyamina then moved to league competitor FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin . After the contract at Viktoria Berlin was terminated, Benyamina signed a one-and-a-half year contract with league rivals Tennis Borussia Berlin on Christmas Eve 2017 . In summer 2019 he switched to the over 32 team at FSV Spandauer Kickers.

National team career

In November 2010, Benyamina was appointed to the squad of the Algerian national team for the international match against Luxembourg for the first time and completed his first international match. So far there has been another appearance for Algeria in the 1-1 draw against Tanzania as part of the qualification for the Africa Cup 2012 .

Private

Karim Benyamina is also the registered managing director of the "Flowers" Shisha-Bar in Berlin. His younger brother Soufian is also a professional football player and has been active as such for FC Carl Zeiss Jena and VfB Stuttgart . He also played with Dynamo Dresden in Karim's birthplace , but since 2015 with Hansa Rostock .
