Justin Ammar (born March 25, 1988 in St. Albert, Alberta) is a Canadian soccer player who currently plays for FC Edmonton in the North American Soccer League.
Career
Europe
Ammar attended Paul Kane High School and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, before joining the Canadian European Futbol Academy in an attempt to secure a professional playing contract in Europe. After attending several trials, Ammar signed with German Fußball-Bayernliga team SV Heimstetten for 2010–2011 season. He made his professional debut on July 31, 2010, coming on as a substitute for starting keeper Patrick Lehner in a game against SpVgg Bayreuth. He went on to make six appearances for the club before returning home to Canada at the end of the season.
North America
Ammar was called up by FC Edmonton of North American Soccer League on June 10, 2011 to provide goalkeeper cover for starter Lance Parker for their game against the Carolina RailHawks, as regular #1 keeper Rein Baart was suspended and #3 keeper Jaswinder Gill had a back injury. Parker broke his arm in the 80th minute of the game, and Ammar came off the bench to make his debut for Edmonton. He kept a clean sheet in his 10 minutes in the game, although Edmonton lost the match 1-0.
