Pilar Tony Khoury (Arabic: بيلار توني خوري; born 25 August 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Première Ligue club Strasbourg [fr] and the Lebanon national team.

Khoury played at the college level for the Ottawa Gee-Gees, the University of Ottawa's team; she left in 2016 as their all-time goal scorer with 58 goals. Khoury moved to France the same year, where she joined Albi in the Division 1 Féminine; she then played for Division 2 sides Grenoble, Saint-Étienne, Nantes and Strasbourg.

Born in Canada, Khoury is of Lebanese descent and has represented Lebanon internationally since 2021. She helped Lebanon finish runners-up at the 2022 WAFF Championship, in which she scored her first international goal.

Early life

Khoury was born in Canada to Lebanese parents.[3] She noted that she was surrounded by Lebanese people and culture growing up, due to the large presence of Lebanese diaspora in her area.[3]

Club career

Youth and college

At 10 years old, Khoury began her youth career at local club Ottawa Gloucester Hornets, where she remained for seven years.[4] She began as a defender, before being moved up to forward in her last year at the club.[4]

Khoury then moved to the University of Ottawa's team, the Ottawa Gee-Gees.[4] She made her breakthrough in her third season at the club, breaking the university's scoring record twice and winning multiple individual titles.[4] Khoury finished her career with the Ottawa Gee-Gees as their all-time leading goal scorer, with 58 goals.[5]

Albi

Khoury began her senior career in 2016, moving to Division 1 Féminine side Albi in France on 1 August.[6] After being a reserve for the first half of the 2016–17 season, she became a regular in the second half and helped her side avoid relegation.[4] Her second season saw Khoury miss multiple matches due to injuries, and the club was relegated to the Division 2 Féminine.[4]

Grenoble

She moved to Grenoble for the 2018–19 season in the Division 2.[4] After a slow start, scoring once in the first half of the season, Khoury scored 10 goals in her next 10 games.[4] She also scored three goals in four Coupe de France féminine games.[7]

Saint-Étienne

In 2019, Khoury joined Division 2 runners-up Saint-Étienne where, in the 2019–20 season, she scored six league goals in 11 matches.[7] She also scored a goal in her only Coupe de France appearance.[7] In 2020–21, Khoury scored four goals in four games,[7] before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France.[8] She finished with 11 goals in 18 games in all competitions.[7]

Nantes

On 27 July 2021, Khoury moved to Nantes.[9] She made her debut on 5 September, in a 3–0 win against Lens.[10] On 10 October, Khoury scored her first goal for Nantes, helping her team win 3–0 against Orléans.[11] She ended the 2021–22 season with six goals in 20 league games,[7] missing out on Division 1 promotion by one point.[12] Khoury also scored one goal in five Coupe de France games,[7] helping her side reach the semi-finals.[12]

The following season, in 2022–23, Khoury scored five goals in 18 league games, as well as two goals in three cup games.[7] Nantes finished in third place.[13]

Strasbourg

On 28 July 2023, fellow Division 2 team Strasbourg [fr] announced the signing of Khoury.[14] She scored four goals in 19 games in the 2023–24 league season,[7] helping her team win the championship and gain promotion to the Division 1.[15]

International career

Born in Canada, Khoury is of Lebanese descent.[4] She has stated her preference to play for Lebanon over Canada, saying that she dreamed of representing Lebanon from a young age.[4]

Khoury was first called up for Lebanon in April 2021, ahead of a friendly tournament in Armenia.[16] Regarding her first call-up, she stated: "I have difficulty expressing how much it means to me. To represent my parents' country after all the sacrifices they made for my soccer career".[16] However, due to resulting positive to COVID-19, she was unable to travel.[3]

She made her debut on 21 October 2021, helping Lebanon beat the United Arab Emirates 1–0 in the 2022 AFC Asian Cup qualification.[2] Khoury was called up to represent Lebanon at the 2022 WAFF Championship;[17] she helped her side finish runners-up, scoring her first international goal against Syria on 4 September 2022.[18]

Style of play

Initially a striker, Khoury developed into a winger during her stay at Nantes.[3] She is capable of playing in all attacking positions.[14]

Personal life

Khoury's maternal grandfather, Louis Saad, was also a footballer;[4] he died in 2013.[16] Khoury stated that he taught her how to play football.[16] A few days prior to dying, her grandfather passed his French citizenship onto her, which facilitated her move to play professionally in France three years later.[3]

While playing for the Ottawa Gee-Gees, Khoury completed a bachelor's degree in health sciences with a minor in psychology.[4] Khoury was also a student during her time at Albi.[4]
