Career

Oumed was born in Gambela National Regional state, one of the federal regions of Ethiopia, which is located in the south western part of Ethiopia near to the border of Sudan. Oumed has scored three goals for his club, Defence Force F.C. in six Ethiopian premier league games that club played this year 2010 (2003 Ethiopian calendar). He is becoming the rising star in the domestic games. Oumed Oukri has been named the Best Sportsman according to the weekly Capital Ethiopia’s Top 30 List for the 2003 Ethiopian Calendar. In the summer of 2012, Oumed was transferred to reigning premier league champions, Saint George SC. He scored his first official goal, on 17 October 2012, in a penalty-shootout loss against arch-rivals Ethiopian Coffee FC. His goalscoring attrected attention of some Egyptian clubs, but St. George declined to release him. In spite of all this, he continued to play well and shared the title of league champions with his team in the 2013-14 season. Consequently, the Ethiopian champions allowed him move to a foreign league.

On 21 May 2014, Oumed signed a three-year deal with the Egyptian side Al Ittihad.

Oumed made a debut for Ethiopia on 30 November 2009, in a match against Djibouti, and he immediately scored 2 goals. The final result was 5-0 for Ethiopia. His third goal came in an African cup qualifiers against Guinea, in September 2010.
