Botafogo announces the signing of attacking midfielder Hakim Ziyech for the remainder of the 2026 season. The 33-year-old Moroccan passed his medical exams and signed a permanent deal with Glorioso through the end of 2028. The player arrived in Rio last Tuesday (08) and was welcomed with a big celebration by the Alvinegra supporters. The date of his official presentation will be announced later.

Developed in Dutch football, Ziyech began his career at Heerenveen, where he won the team’s best player award in the 2013/14 season, and then moved to Twente, where he stood out once again and earned a transfer to Ajax. With the club, the attacking midfielder was a Europa League runner-up and won the Dutch League, the Dutch Cup, and the Dutch Super Cup. At Ajax, Ziyech was also named Eredivisie Player of the Year three times and led the league in assists on four occasions.

After shining in the Netherlands, Ziyech played for Chelsea in England, where he won the Champions League and the Club World Cup in the 2020-21 season. In both 2018 and 2022, the player was called up for the World Cup to represent Morocco in the tournament. The attacking midfielder started every match for his national team, scoring one goal during the historic 2022 campaign in which Morocco finished in 4th place.

In 2023, Ziyech played for Galatasaray, winning two Turkish league titles and one super cup. After a brief spell at Al Duhail of Qatar, the player played for Wydad Casablanca of Morocco before arriving at Glorioso.
