Sami Ouaissa (Arabic : سامي وعيسى; Berber languages : ⵙⴰⵎⵉ ⵡⴰⵄⵉⵙⴰ; born 2 October 2004) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eredivisie club NEC.
Ouaissa was born and raised in Hoensbroek, but later moved to Brunssum. [1] He started playing football for VKC, before joining the Roda JC youth academy as a five-year-old in 2010. [2]
He made his professional debut on 26 August 2022, replacing Terrence Douglas in the 90th minute of a 3–1 home loss to NAC Breda. [3] [4] On 30 January 2023, he made his first-ever start for Roda JC in a 2–1 league defeat to PEC Zwolle, playing for 61 minutes before being replaced by Niek Vossebelt. [5] Ouaissa's appearance made him the youngest player to start for the club in over 30 years. [6] Four days later, he signed his first professional contract with Roda, which runs until 2025. [6] This marked the end of a 20-year period during which no academy players had signed a contract with the club after being promoted to the first team, with Ger Senden and Mark Luijpers being the last to do so. [1] On 5 February 2023, just one day after signing his new deal with the club, Ouaissa provided his first assist, a corner kick for Terrence Douglas' winning goal in a 2–1 derby victory over MVV. [7]
On 6 October 2023, Ouaissa scored his first professional goals, netting a first-half brace. His performance contributed to Roda's 3–1 victory against Jong AZ and solidified the team's position at the top of the league table. [8]
On 1 February 2024, Ouaissa signed a contract with NEC until 2028 and was loaned back to Roda for the rest of the 2023–24 season. [9]
Ouaissa is of Moroccan descent. [10]
Ouissa enrolled in a havo at the Sint-Janscollege in Hoensbroek while playing in the Roda JC academy, and to become a physical therapist after his football career. [2]
