Achraf Douiri (born 27 November 1999) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left winger or right-back.[2]

Career

[edit]

After playing for SC Buitenveldert and HFC EDO, Douiri entered the youth academy of ADO Den Haag in 2017.[3][4] After one year he joined the Van Riemsdijk Sports Academy, hosted by fourth-tier Zuidoost United.[3][4] With the academy he attended a tournament in Odense, Denmark, following which he signed with Swedish Second Division side IFK Eskilstuna in February 2020.[4][3] Due to the coronavirus pandemic the Swedish league soon came to a halt.[4] In the summer Douiri returned to the Netherlands and signed for IJsselmeervogels, where he soon made the move from the under-23 team to the first team squad.[5] He made two appearances for the club, as amateur football in the Netherlands was soon shut down by the KNVB, because of the coronavirus crisis.[6]

In 2021, he signed a contract with FC Volendam until mid-2022..[6] In the first half of the season Douiri played as a winger, but was gradually retrained by trainer Wim Jonk to a right back.[1] In mid-2022, his contract was extended until 2024.[1]
