Career
Europe
Ammar attended Paul Kane High School and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, before joining the Canadian European Futbol Academy in an attempt to secure a professional playing contract in Europe.[1] After attending several trials, Ammar signed with German Fußball-Bayernliga team SV Heimstetten for 2009–2011 season. He made his professional debut on July 31, 2010, coming on as a substitute for starting keeper Patrick Lehner in a game against SpVgg Bayreuth. He went on to make 30 appearances for the club.
North America
Ammar was called up by FC Edmonton of North American Soccer League on June 10, 2011 to provide goalkeeper cover for starter Lance Parker for their game against the Carolina RailHawks. Parker broke his arm in the 80th minute of the game, and Ammar came off the bench to make his debut for Edmonton. He kept a clean sheet in his 10 minutes in the game, although Edmonton lost the match 1-0.[2]
