Racing Beirut

Kazan started playing football aged 14 in the youth sector of Lebanese Fourth Division club Adab w Riyada Kfarchima.[2] He then moved to Racing Beirut's youth system,[3] making his senior debut in the 2023–24 Lebanese Premier League on 28 September 2023, aged 16 years and 186 days, as a 78th-minute substitute in a 1–1 draw against Nejmeh.[4] His first goal came on 20 June 2024, in the final matchday of the season, in a 2–1 defeat to Bourj.[5]

Kazan's breakthrough season came in 2024–25, in which he was used by Racing as a starter.[6] He scored three consecutive goals between 8 and 19 May 2025[6] – against Bourj,[7] Chabab Ghazieh,[8] and Shabab Sahel[9] – and a brace against Bourj on 7 June 2025.[10] Kazan finished the season with seven goals in 26 appearances.[1] He was also crowned top scorer of the under-20 league with 13 goals.[11]

Enosis Neon Paralimni

On 5 October 2025, Kazan joined Enosis Neon Paralimni in the Cypriot First Division during the 2025–26 season.[12][13] He scored his first goal for the club on 22 October, in a 2–0 win against Chalkanoras Idaliou in the Cypriot Cup, two minutes after entering as a second-half substitute.[14]

International career

In September 2025, Kazan took part in a training camp with the Lebanon national under-20 team in Tabarja, Lebanon, ahead of the 2025 WAFF U-20 Championship.[15] He received his first senior call-up to the Lebanon national team in May 2026,[16] and made his debut as a second-half substitute in a 2027 Asian Cup qualification game against Yemen on 4 June, which Lebanon lost 2–0.[17]
