Achraf Douiri (born 27 November 1999) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left winger or right-back for Eerste Divisie club Telstar. [2]

Career

After playing for SC Buitenveldert and HFC EDO, Douiri entered the youth academy of ADO Den Haag in 2017. [3] [4] After one year he joined the Van Riemsdijk Sports Academy, hosted by fourth-tier Zuidoost United. [3] [4] With the academy he attended a tournament in Odense, Denmark, following which he signed with Swedish Second Division side IFK Eskilstuna in February 2020. [4] [3] Due to the coronavirus pandemic the Swedish league soon came to a halt. [4] In the summer Douiri returned to the Netherlands and signed for IJsselmeervogels, where he soon made the move from the under-23 team to the first team squad. [5] He made two appearances for the club, as amateur football in the Netherlands was soon shut down by the KNVB, because of the coronavirus crisis. [6]

In 2021, Douiri signed a contract with FC Volendam until mid-2022. [6] Initially playing as a winger, he was gradually converted into a right-back under head coach Wim Jonk. [1] In mid-2022, he extended his contract until 2024. [1] Douiri left Volendam upon the expiration of his contract in June 2024. [7]

On 7 February 2025, after several months as a free agent, Douiri signed an amateur contract with Telstar in the Eerste Divisie. [8]
