Tariq Spezie Sevilla (born 21 June 1980), simply Tariq, is an Italian-Spanish footballer who plays for SD Huesca as a striker.

Tariq was born in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates to an Italian father and a Spanish mother, receiving his name from his father - who was working in the country - in honour of Tariq ibn Ziyad.[1] As the political situation in the zone worsened, eventually leading to the Iran–Iraq War, the family relocated to Italy with his one-year infant,[2] and later to Spain.
Tariq played youth football in modest clubs in Catalonia,[1][2] making his senior debuts with Real Valladolid B, and competing one season in Segunda División B and one in Tercera División with the club. Another reserve team followed in 2001–02, as he helped RCD Espanyol B finish second in the third level, without no playoff promotion however.
Tariq spent the following eight 1/2 years in division three in representation of as seven teams, namely Águilas CF. In the 2008–09 season, he scored a career-best 24 goals for UD Puertollano,[3][4] adding 19 for Granada CF in the following year, en route to his first Segunda División promotion.
On 25 January 2011, Tariq was loaned to SD Huesca - also in the second division - until the end of the season, via Udinese Calcio.[5] In less than half of the matches, he scored eight goals (second-best in the squad behind Juanjo Camacho) as the Aragonese finally retained their league status.[6]
