Club career

Maalouf began her career at the Jeita Country Club, subsequently transferring to Zouk Mosbeh in 2018. [2] During the 2018–19 season, she scored 16 goals. [3] She later joined EFP, [2] where she accumulated a total of 55 goals across all competitions between 2020 and 2023. [3]

In 2024, midway through the 2023–24 season, Maalouf moved to France and signed with Paris FC, representing the club’s reserve team in the Régional 1, the fourth tier of French women's football. She made her debut on 27 January as a starter in a 1–1 draw against Fleury's reserve team, [4] and went on to score five goals in eight appearances. [3]

Ahead of the 2024–25 season, Maalouf joined VGA Saint-Maur  [ fr ], another club competing in the Régional 1. [5] She contributed to the team's successful campaign, which culminated in three titles: the Régional 1 Île-de-France championship – securing promotion to Division 3 – the Coupe de Paris Île-de-France, in which she scored in the final against Sarcelles, [6] and the Coupe du Val-de-Marne. [7] Maalouf finished the season with 14 goals in 16 games in all competitions. [3]

International career

Youth

Maalouf played for Lebanon U15 at the 2019 WAFF U-15 Championship, winning the tournament as the top scorer with nine goals in two games. [2] She also won the 2022 WAFF U-18 Girls Championship with Lebanon U18 as the tournament's best player. [8]

Senior

On 24 August 2021, Maalouf made her senior international debut for Lebanon on 24 August 2021, as a starter in a 0–0 draw against Tunisia in the 2021 Arab Women's Cup. [9] She scored her first goal on 30 August, in a 5–1 win against Sudan. [10] Maalouf scored three goals in two friendly games against Syria, on 12 and 14 August 2022, including a brace in the second game. [11] She took part in the 2022 WAFF Women's Championship; she helped her side finish runners-up, [12] scoring twice against Palestine and Syria. [13]

With her goal against Indonesia in a 5–0 win at the 2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, on 8 April 2023, Maalouf reached Sara Bakri's national-team record of seven goals for Lebanon. [14] She surpassed the record on 18 July 2023 – aged 17 years, 210 days – scoring a goal in a 5–0 win against Palestine. [15] The record was broken two months later, on 30 September, when Lili Iskandar scored her ninth international goal. [16]

She was called up to the 2024 WAFF Women's Championship, [17] scoring two goals against Guam and Saudi Arabia. [3] On 16 July 2025, Maalouf scored a hat-trick against Iran in a 3–1 win – Lebanon's first – in the 2026 Asian Cup qualifiers, bringing her tally to 17 goals and reclaiming her spot as Lebanon's all-time top scorer. It was also Lebanon's first ever hat-trick in an Asian Cup qualifier. [18]
