Amine Dinar (born 13 June 1995) is a Moroccan professional football player, finance executive and entrepreneur who currently plays as a midfielder for FUS Rabat in the Botola Pro.
Born in Rabat, Morocco, Dinar spent part of his youth in Tunisia, Niger and Gabon due to his father’s diplomatic career. He started playing football at AS Salé before joining various clubs in Africa, including Sahel SC and Olympic FC in Niger, Delta Telestar, FC Lewai and FC Boca Libreville in Gabon. In 2011, Dinar returned to Morocco and joined the youth academy of FAR Rabat.
Club career
FAR Rabat
He made his senior debut during the 2012–13 season, scoring 4 goals in 11 appearances. His performances caught the attention of French club Paris Saint-Germain, leading to a transfer in 2013.
Paris Saint-Germain and loan spells
Dinar joined Paris Saint-Germain from FAR Rabat on 1 July 2013 on a three-year contract.[1] He did not make any competitive appearances for PSG and spent each of his three seasons with the club out on loan. During the 2014 January transfer window, Dinar was loaned to US Créteil-Lusitanos until the end of the season. He then joined Paris FC on loan for the 2014–15 season, followed by a loan spell at Red Star FC during the 2015–16 season.
Early retirement and college soccer
In June 2016, Dinar announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 21, citing recurring knee injuries and growing disillusionment with the world of football.
Later that year, he enrolled at San Francisco State University, where he trained with the San Francisco State Gators soccer team. Although not eligible for NCAA competition, he took part in friendly matches and served as an assistant coach. In 2017, the team achieved its best start in history and returned to the postseason for the first time since 1978.
Return to football
In September 2025, Dinar signed with FUS Rabat for the 2025–2026 season, marking a return to top-flight Moroccan football nearly a decade after his last professional appearance. The move is part of a broader collaboration between Dinar and the club, with his involvement extending beyond playing duties to include advisory and brand development roles.
International career
Dinar represented Morocco at various youth levels, starting with the U17 team. In 2011, he won the UNAF U-17 Tournament.
He earned his first cap for the senior national football team on 12 December 2012, after coming on as a substitute in the 3-0 win over Niger in a friendly match. His second and final appearance for the senior team came on 6 March 2013, when he played as a substitute in a 2-1 win over Mali.
Although Dinar was called up to the U20 team for the 2013 Islamic Solidarity Games in Indonesia, he was unable to participate due to PSG's refusal to release him, as the tournament took place outside of FIFA's official international break. Despite not playing, he remained officially listed as part of the squad and was credited with a gold medal following Morocco’s victory in the competition.
