Billel Omrani (born 2 June 1993 in Forbach) is a French football player who currently plays as a striker for Arles-Avignon, on loan from Marseille . He is the younger brother of Abdelhakim Omrani who plays for Nîmes Olympique.[1] His older sister Yasmina Omrani is an international heptathlete.[2]

Billel Omrani joined Marseille in 2007 after stints with two amateur clubs in the Moselle area. On 19 March 2011, he signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal.[3] Omrani was, subsequently, promoted to the senior team by manager Didier Deschamps for the 2011–12 season. He was assigned the number 25 shirt and made his professional debut on 2 October in a league match against Brest. Omrani appeared as a substitute in the match, which ended 1–1.[4]

Omrani is a France youth international having represented the nation at under-17 and under-18 level. With the former team, he played at the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship. Of Algerian descent, he is also eligible to represent Algeria at international level and, in October 2011, was called up to the Algeria under-23 team to participate in friendly matches ahead of the 2011 CAF U-23 Championship.[5][6] However, the report of a call-up was deemed erroneous due to a misunderstanding between the team's coach and the Algerian media with the latter assuming the coach was calling up Omrani when he was, in fact, calling up another French-born player of Algerian origin who also plays for Marseille. In February 2013, Omrani was invited by Algeria under-20 national team coach Jean-Marc Nobilo to be a member of the team for the 2013 African U-20 Championship, but Omrani declined the offer.[7]
