Club career
A youth academy graduate of Viktoria Köln, Amyn made his professional debut on 13 March 2021 in a 3–1 league win against MSV Duisburg.[3] This made him the youngest player to appear in a professional match for the club in its history.[4][5]
On 1 September 2022, Amyn joined the under-21 team of Eredivisie club Feyenoord.[6] On 18 July 2023, he signed for Eintracht Braunschweig until 2025.[7]
International career
Amyn was born in Germany to Kurdish parents from Sulaymaniyah.
Germany
Amyn has represented Germany at youth level. In 2020, Qahtan Chathir called up the player to represent Iraq's youth team, inviting him to a training camp in Baghdad during his coincidential visit to his hometown, and on many occasions in 2021, new manager Emad Mohammed sent invitations to the player but he rejected and maintained his desire to represent Germany at youth level.
Iraq
On 31 March 2023, Amyn announced his desire to represent Iraq's youth team as they go into the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the manager Emad Mohammed has asked the Iraqi FA to request FIFA to switch Amyn's international eligibility.[citation needed] He was called up to the preparatory training camp in Cádiz, playing his first match in a friendly against Dominican Republic, winning a penalty then converting that penalty in the 50th minute. He also played against Brazil, winning a penalty shortly before half-time which was converted by Abdul-Razzak Qasim. During his time at the camp, it was announce that FIFA had agreed to switch his international allegiance officially, thus making him eligible to represent Iraq internationally.
He was called up to the final squad for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, starting all three games and catching the eye of the world through his consistent performances despite his side crashing out of the group stage without scoring a single goal.
