Aaliyah Faddoul—and now the Georgia State standout has another accolade to prove why. The junior forward has been named to the 2025 United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region Third Team, marking the second time in her career she’s earned regional recognition. That milestone makes her the first Panther in program history to receive All-Southeast Region honors multiple times.

For a Georgia State squad continuing to climb within the Sun Belt Conference, Faddoul’s rise is a signal of where the program is headed—and how big her impact has already become.

A Record-Breaking Season From Georgia State’s Most Lethal Attacker

Faddoul didn’t just lead Georgia State this season—she powered the Panthers’ entire offensive identity.

The junior finished the year atop the team leaderboard in:

Points: 17
Shots: 85
Shots on Goal: 44

Her numbers weren’t just impressive on paper—they stood out in the Sun Belt Conference, where Faddoul ranked among the league’s top 10 in goals (6), assists (5), and total points (17). She also led the entire conference in total shots and shots per game (4.61), showcasing her relentless attacking mindset.

The Ontario native became the focal point of a Panthers offense that secured nine wins and routinely challenged the top teams in the conference. Her ability to create chances in transition, press high, and deliver in key moments made her one of the most feared forwards in the region.

A Career Trending Toward Greatness

Through three seasons in Atlanta, Faddoul has already built one of the most productive attacking resumes in Georgia State’s modern era. Her career totals now include:

56 matches played
22 goals
13 assists
57 career points

Her consistency has propelled her into the upper tier of program history—rising among Georgia State’s top scorers of the last decade. As a two-time All-Sun Belt selection, including First Team honors earlier this fall, Faddoul has become the type of impact forward who forces opposing teams to game-plan specifically for her movements.

It’s that combination of production and presence that caught the attention of United Soccer Coaches, the leading body behind the All-Region awards. Their recognition highlights players who display exceptional performance, consistency, and value to their programs (authority link: https://unitedsoccercoaches.org).

Faddoul checks all three boxes—and then some.

What Makes Faddoul’s Game Special?

Beyond the stats, Faddoul shines because of how she influences the match:

Relentless Shot Creation

She led the Sun Belt in shot production and rarely shies away from taking defenders on 1v1. Her willingness to strike from different angles keeps keepers guessing.

Creative Playmaking

With 13 career assists, she’s far more than a pure scorer. Faddoul often drops deep to start attacks or pulls wide to stretch defenses.

Physicality and Engine

Her work rate is among the best in the conference. Whether pressing up top or tracking back into midfield, she remains constantly involved.

Leadership by Presence

Even as a junior, teammates look to her to set the tone. She’s the player who demands the ball in big moments—and delivers.

What This Means for Georgia State Soccer

Faddoul’s repeat All-Region recognition isn’t just a personal achievement—it signals a broader rise for Georgia State women’s soccer.

1. A True Program Pillar

With another season ahead of her, Faddoul enters 2025 poised to climb even higher in the school’s all-time scoring charts.

2. Momentum for Recruiting

Accolades like this help Georgia State attract top-tier regional and international talent, building credibility in the Sun Belt.

3. A Strong Core for Next Season

The Panthers’ attack will continue running through her, giving head coach Ed Joyce an elite centerpiece around which to structure the offense.

4. National Recognition on the Rise

Being named twice to an All-Southeast Region team puts Faddoul on radars beyond the Sun Belt—potentially even in NWSL draft discussions if her trajectory continues.
