Bashar Resan Bonyan (Arabic: بشار رسن بنيان; born 22 December 1996 in Baghdad, Iraq) is an Iraqi footballer who plays as Midfielder for Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in the Iraqi Premier League.
He’s a player regarded by many, including the Iraqi national coach Hakeem Shaker to be one of the talented young players in the Iraqi Premier League and a certain player for the future. His story is really astonishing, if not somewhat incredible. In the 2010-2011 season Bashar was plucked from the Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya junior side where at 14 was playing with boys much older than himself to train with the first team after he was seen in a game by team coach Thair Ahmed and his assistant Walid Dhahid, and he has been a first team member since. The winger has become the youngest player in the history in their 83-year existence and went on to sign a senior contract with the club. He scored the opening goal of the 2016 Iraq FA Cup Final which his team went on to win.
Bashar Resan is the son of former Iraq and Sikak Al-Hadeed player of the 70s, Resan Bonyan. He started playing on Palestine Street in the Iraqi capital and had the privilege of being a student at the Ammo Baba Football School from the age of 12 and spent two years at the school before joining Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya at 13.
On 4 September 2014, Resan made his International debut against Peru in a friendly match that ended 0–2 for Peru.
