Myziane Maolida (born 14 February 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Saudi club Al-Kholood. Born in France, he plays for the Comoros national team.
Maolida developed through the Lyon academy. He made his Ligue 1 debut on 5 August 2017 in a 4–0 home win against Strasbourg, entering the field after 76 minutes for Mariano. [2] He scored his first goal on 23 November 2017 in a 4–0 victory over Apollon Limassol in the UEFA Europa League. [3] Three days later, he scored his first goal in Ligue 1 in a 5–0 away win against Nice. [4]
In August 2018, Maolida signed with Ligue 1 side Nice agreeing a five-year contract with a reported release clause of about €100 million. Lyon received a transfer fee of €10 million plus 30% from future transfer profits. [5] [6] He debuted for Nice on 18 August 2018 in 1–1 draw against SM Caen. [7]
On 31 August 2021, Maolida signed a four-year contract with Bundesliga club Hertha BSC for a transfer fee of €4 million. [8] [9] He immediately scored in his league debut on 12 September in a 3–1 away victory over VfL Bochum. [10] In the 2021–22 season, Maolida made 14 league appearances, scoring the one goal, as he was mainly a substitute. [11] Finishing 16th in the league table, Hertha BSC retained their Bundesliga status after beating out Hamburger SV in playoffs for promotion and relegation. [12] Maolida appeared in both games as a late substitute. [11]
On 31 January 2023, after only three league appearances for Hertha in the first half of the 2022–23 Bundesliga season, Maolida joined Stade de Reims back in France on a loan deal until the end of the season. [13] He made nine appearances in the second half of the 2022–23 Ligue 1 season, scoring one goal. [14] After the loan expired, he rejoined Hertha, which were since relegated from the Bundesliga after finishing the season in last place.
Hertha BSC were looking to sell Maolida in the summer transfer window prior to the 2023–24 season, but contract negotiations between Maolida and Turkish side Ankaragücü failed. [15] In August 2023, Hertha coach Pál Dárdai demoted Maolida to the second team Hertha BSC II, playing in the Regionalliga Nordost. [16] [17] He was loaned to Scottish Premiership club Hibernian in January 2024. [18]
On 23 August 2024, Hertha sold Maolida to Saudi Arabian club Al-Kholood for a unknown transfer fee.
Born in France to Comorian and Malagasy parents, Maolida was a youth international for France. [19]
He debuted with the Comoros national team in a 4–2 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Central African Republic on 17 November 2023, scoring his side's fourth goal in his debut. [20] In his second game for the national team, he scored the winner in a 1–0 victory over Ghana. [9]
