Official: Raja Casablanca sign Tunisian striker Adel Bettaieb

Raja Casablanca have officially confirmed the signing of forward Adel Bettaieb, who holds Tunisian and Moroccan roots, as part of the squad reinforcement ahead of the new Botola Pro season.

Who is Adel Bettaieb?

The 29-year-old Tunisian striker arrives as a free agent after a brief one-month spell at his previous Tunisian club, which he left by mutual agreement following a dispute over having his salary paid in foreign currency. Bettaieb had just returned from a stint in Romania with FC Argeș.

He has signed with the Greens until the summer of 2028.

Registered as a local player thanks to his Moroccan roots

Thanks to his Moroccan mother, Bettaieb will be registered as a local player within Raja's squad rather than a foreign one — a notable advantage for the club's foreign-player quota management this season. Raja unveiled the signing through a creative video built around the historic "Bouya Saleh" café.

Key takeaways

• Bettaieb (29) is a Tunisian forward of Moroccan descent, joining on a free transfer.
• His contract with Raja runs until summer 2028.
• He is registered as a local player thanks to his Moroccan mother.
