Aziz Doufikar

Born in Casablanca, Doufikar moved to the Netherlands when he was 10 years old and started playing football at local amateur side SV Lelystad '67. He then spent time at the Ajax academy. Doufikar was the first Moroccan professional football player in the Netherlands. He played in the Eredivisie for PEC Zwolle and Fortuna Sittard. Doufikar also spent time playing in Portugal with Sporting Espinho and Vitória Setúbal. He missed out on the 1986 FIFA World Cup when Co Adriaanse, who was his coach at PEC Zwolle at the time, refused to release him for the Morocco national football team preparations.
