Aleksandr Sergeyevich Samedov (Russian: Александр Сергеевич Самедов, born 19 July 1984 in Moscow) is a Russian professional footballer who currently plays for Spartak Moscow as a right winger. He has played for the Russia national football team since 2011 and was selected for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Samedov was born in Moscow, Soviet Union, his father is Azerbaijani and his mother is Russian. In 2012, he declared he had converted to Christianity on the advice of his wife Yulia after a spell of depression.
He was a pupil of the Spartak Moscow academy and was considered one of their most talented youngsters and is a splendid dribbler. He was a regular in the first team under Nevio Scala but when Aleksandrs Starkovs came he lost his place in the first team. Spartak Moscow then purchased the speedy Vladimir Bystrov, and in the summer of 2005 Samedov left for Lokomotiv Moscow for €3.4 million. However, Samedov failed to succeed in Loko, and in 2008 joined FC Moscow. Having shown great progress under direction of Miodrag Božović, he chose to become part of a bigger club and went to Dynamo Moscow during the 2009–10 winter transfer period. On 27 June 2012, Samedov moved to Lokomotiv, where he played earlier. According to the source close to the club, Lokomotiv paid about 8.2 million € for his services.
During his second spell at Lokomotiv, Samedov established himself as starting XI fixture at right wing. In May 2013, when he added some goals to his usual good amount of assistances, he managed to win monthly poll among Loko fans in the social networks for the best player of the month. He won this poll for the second time in April 2014. After the end of 2013-14 season, club organized new poll among Loko fans in the social networks to name the best player of the season. The award went to Samedov with 32.3 percent of votes.
