The former Eredivisie talent delivered an impressive 20 assists last season, playing a key role in Volendam’s promotion, Dutch media recognized. After reaching the milestone of 100 appearances for the club and overcoming a rare tumor diagnosed in early 2024, Ould-Chikh now begins a new chapter in Casablanca.

«I didn’t expect this journey after everything I went through», he shared last year. Now, he turns a remarkable personal comeback into a dream move to one of Africa’s most storied clubs.

Raja Casablanca, 13-time Moroccan champions and three-time CAF Champions League winners, finished fifth in the league last season.
