Abdelhamid Sabiri was one of the actors of the Moroccan selection, making history by becoming the first African and Arab nation to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup at the Qatari World Cup last fall, in particular thanks to his goal from a free kick against Belgium in the group stage. A feat that allowed him to leave Sampdoria, in great difficulty in the league before being condemned to the descent in Serie B. To welcome him, it was Fiorentina who finally offered his services, but his arrival in Florence was only temporary, as we told you.

Indeed, the Atlas Lion with 11 selections (4 goals) leaves Viola on loan for Saudi Arabia, since he will defend, for the coming season, the colors of Al-Fayha, resident of the Saudi Pro League and eighth in the standings after 5 rounds. “Midfielder Sabiri had many professional experiences and his most notable stops were with English clubs Huddersfield Town, German Nuremberg, Italian Ascoli, Italian Sampdoria and Italian club Fiorentina before to join Al-Fayhaa, in addition to representing his country’s national team, as his most notable appearances were with the Moroccan national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and Morocco’s historic feat to obtain the fourth place in the tournament”can we read in the press release of the Saudi club.
