Career

Abdel-Halim is a left-winger who can also operate as a left wing-back and as an attacking central midfielder, Abdul-Haleem has always been known as the "Asian Roberto Carlos" due to his thunderous left-foot and long range shots, thumping free-kicks and corner kicks, which are similar to that of the former Brazilian international Roberto Carlos. He has earned a reputation for scoring spectacular long-range goals.

Many fans of Al-Wahdat and Jordan refer to him as the following nicknames Al-Andalib, Haleem Al-Wahdat, and Al-Madfaaji.

International career

Abdel-Halim is also a member of the Jordan national team and helped his country to reach the 2011 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar after a dramatic 2–1 victory over Singapore in Amman on match day 6 because of his brilliant corner kick to his teammate Anas Bani Yaseen, which allowed Anas to score the winning goal at 60 min with a header.

He was a member and participated in every one of Jordan's four matches in the 2011 Asian Cup.

They were drawn with Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria in Group B of the tournament, until they were narrowly defeated by Uzbekistan in the quarterfinals.
