Real Betis Sign Moroccan Defender Moha Hamdoune

Real Betis have signed Moroccan U20 player Moha Hamdoune. He has agreed to a contract that goes until June 2029. Hamdoune moves from Spanish third-tier team Balompédica Linense. This is a big step forward in his career.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Moha Hamdoune is 21 years old. He played for Balompédica Linense last season in Spain’s third division. He had 22 games and scored one goal. He was developed at the Mohamed VI Academy in Morocco and was highly wanted. Now, he’ll play for one of La Liga’s well-known teams. Hamdoune also played for Morocco’s under-20 team. He was on the bench for recent games against Spain but didn’t play. His contract with Betis is for four years. It gives him time to adjust and grow at a high level.

REAL BETIS BUILD FOR THE FUTURE

Real Betis ended the 2024/25 La Liga season in seventh place, securing a spot in the UEFA Conference League for the next season. Coach Manuel Pellegrini is leading a busy summer transfer period.

Last season, Betis reached the UEFA Conference League final but faced disappointment.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR HAMDOUNE AND BETIS?

Hamdoune will meet his new teammates soon. Betis are getting ready for the 2025/26 season. Their first La Liga game is in August. Betis aim to continue last year’s good run. They also want to do well in the Europa League, starting in September. The next game is a friendly against Granada, who will allow them to further prepare for the upcoming season.
