Botafogo is releasing the short documentary "Ziyech: The Star of Morocco," a brand-new production that reveals exclusive details about star player Hakim Ziyech’s arrival at Glorioso. The Botafogo Films documentary premieres this Tuesday (29) at 5 p.m. on Botafogo TV’s YouTube channel.
With never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews, "Ziyech: The Star of Morocco" takes a deeper look at the details behind attacking midfielder Hakim Ziyech’s signing and arrival at Botafogo. The Moroccan was Glorioso’s ninth signing for the remainder of the 2026 season, putting pen to paper with O Mais Tradicional through 2028. The production also highlights the player’s importance to Morocco and the African continent.
With an established, trophy-filled career in Europe, Ziyech arrived at Botafogo as the club’s marquee signing of the season. Beyond his impact on the pitch, the player also brought a new connection to Glorioso, reaching a whole new wave of fans around the world, especially in Morocco.
With a well-structured strategic plan, Botafogo Films has been expanding its portfolio of original productions, which includes the shorts "L'arrivo: The Arrival," "Barboza - The Pride of Villa Celina," and "Jewels of the Neighborhood - Huguinho," as well as the six-episode documentary series "From Ashes to Fire." Together, these productions have already amassed around 1 million views on the Botafogo TV channel. The goal is to keep developing an increasingly distinctive and immersive audiovisual language, exploring different stories, characters, and elements that help tell the story of Botafogo’s culture and identity. Throughout this year, Botafogo Films will also take its portfolio to national and international festivals, expanding the Club’s productions’ presence in the audiovisual circuit.
