Ilshat Galimzyanovich Faizulin (Russian: Ильшат Галимзянович Файзулин; Tatar: Cyrillic Илшат Галимҗан улы Фәйзуллин, Latin İlşat Ğalimcan ulı Fäyzullin; born 5 March 1973) is a Russian retired footballer of Tatar ethnic origin.

A forward, his career was majorly spent in equal periods of time in Russia and Spain.

Club career

Born in Osinniki, Soviet Union, Faizulin started playing professionally with PFC CSKA Moscow, where his performances garnered the attention of Spain's Racing de Santander (later, during one season, he would team up with compatriot Dmitri Popov at the La Liga side[1]). Subsequently he was a relatively important offensive element at Villarreal CF, helping the club achieve a first-ever top flight promotion in 1998.

After two unassuming spells in Portugal, Faizullin finished 1999–2000 in Turkey with Altay SK, then returned to Spain and its second division with Getafe CF, not being able to prevent the Madrid team's eventual relegation.

Faizullin then returned to his country, playing with four modest sides, and retired in Spain in 2007 after three years in the lower leagues.

International career

Faizulin played one game for Russia, featuring 26 minutes in a 1–3 friendly loss against France on 28 July 1993.
