Hamza Sakhi (born 7 June 1996) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays for Botola club Wydad AC as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Having initially joined AJ Auxerre from Metz on loan, Auxerre confirmed they had signed Sakhi on a permanent deal on 16 April 2018.
In January 2019, he went on loan to FC Sochaux-Montbéliard.
On 11 January 2024, Melbourne City made Sakhi's transfer permanent after he played for them on loan initially. A fortnight after signing this contract extension, Sakhi and the club agreed a mutual termination of his contract, due to family issues.
On 25 January 2024, Sakhi signed a 2.5-year contract with Ajaccio.
International career
Sakhi was born in Rabat, Morocco, but was raised in France. He made his debut for Morocco in a 4–2 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup win against the Panama U17s, wherein he scored his debut goal.
Personal life
His younger half-brother Ilyas Chouaref is also a footballer.
