Azzedine Ounahi (Arabic: عز الدين أوناحي‎‎, pronounced [ʕiz ʔad.di:n u:na:ħi:]; born 19 April 2000) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Marseille and the Morocco national team.[2]

Club career

Early career

A former player of Raja CA and Mohammed VI Academy, Ounahi joined Strasbourg in 2018. In August 2020, he moved to Championnat National club Avranches.[3]

Angers

On 14 July 2021, Ligue 1 club Angers announced the signing of Ounahi on a four-year deal.[4] He made his professional debut on 15 August 2021 by scoring a goal in club's 3–0 league win against Lyon.[5]

Marseille

After attracting the interest of several top-tier clubs across Europe, thanks to his breakthrough performances for Morocco at the 2022 FIFA World Cup,[6][7] on 29 January 2023 Ounahi officially joined fellow Ligue 1 side Marseille for an estimated fee of 8 million euros plus add-ons, signing a contract until June 2027.[8][9] On 1 February 2023, he scored his first goal for Marseille on his debut against Nantes.[10][11]

International career

Youth

Ounahi was called up for Morocco U20 to participate in the 2018 Mediterranean Games. On 22 June 2018, he scored a goal at the 68th minute in a tie against Italy. He later went on to win the bronze medal with the team after a victory in the penalty shoot-out against Greece.[12]

Senior

On 23 December 2021, Vahid Halilhodžić gave Ounahi his first call-up to the Moroccan senior national team for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.[13] Ounahi made his professional debut for Morocco in the 2021 African Cup of Nations in a 1–0 victory against Ghana on 10 January 2022.[14] In his fourth match with Morocco, he managed to score a double in a 4–1 victory against DR Congo in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF third round,[15][16] which marked his first goal with the national team.[17][18]

On 10 November 2022, he was named in Morocco's 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[19][20] After an impressive performance in the round of 16 game against Spain, which Morocco won on penalties, Spanish manager Luis Enrique commented on Ounahi's performance: "My God, where does this guy come from? I was pleasantly surprised by their number eight. I don't remember his name, I'm sorry…".[6][21] In the quarter-final match against Portugal, which Morocco won 1–0, no Moroccan player had more dribbles (three) or won more duels (seven) than Ounahi.[22] Morocco went on to finish fourth in the tournament.[23] During a friendly match against Brazil, which resulted in a 2-1 victory,[24] ounahi picked up an injury after suffering a fracture in his right toe,[25] that required to undergo surgery, which resulted in an end of his football season.[26][27]
