Aram Karam (Arabic: آرام كرم) was one of the first great Iraqi footballers, who earned a reputation for scoring goals from apparently impossible long-range situations. He was an ethnic Assyrian and Christian. He was a son of a Levy soldier from Habbaniya. Aram was a striker capable of having the ball in the back of the net within a blink of an eye. After playing for various teams on RAF Hinaidi in Baghdad from 1936 in his youth, he joined Arsenal Sports Club Habbaniya in 1943 and later played for the C.C. Team and founded RAF Levy Civilian of Habbaniya.
