Club career
Selangor
On 18 December 2021, Yazan officially signed up with Malaysia Super League club, Selangor alongside national teammate Baha' Abdel-Rahman for 2022 season.[2]
On 3 October 2023, his contract was officially terminated by Selangor FC following an on-field incident involving a match official in a Malaysia Cup match against Terengganu FC on 24 September 2023.[3][4][5]
On 20 November 2023, Yazan has been banned for life from Malaysian football. The Football Association of Malaysia gave a lifetime ban because he violated Article 51, paragraph 1(a) and Article 59 of the association's Disciplinary Code but said the decision could be appealed.[6]
