Regarding his experience in Ajman, four months after his attendance, the Moroccan player explained: “I received an offer from an agent to play in the reserve ranks of the Ajman Club, and I did not hesitate to accept the offer, especially since I was not primarily participating in the Moroccan Wydad squad. I was content with training.” With the first team for two seasons without playing any official matches, I presented the matter to the club president, and I asked him to approve the offer, because I need to play a lot at this age, and he agreed and I signed my new contract. With Ajman last September for three seasons.
