Mohamed Abarhoun (Arabic: محمد أبرهون, romanized: Muḥammad ‘Ābarhūn; 3 May 1989 – 2 December 2020) was a Moroccan professional footballer who played as a defender. He played domestic football for hometown club Moghreb Tétouan, Portuguese club Moreirense, and Turkish club Çaykur Rizespor. Abarhoun also represented Morocco at under-20, under-23 and senior level. He died of stomach cancer at the age of 31.

Club career[edit]

Abarhoun was born in Tétouan and played as a centre-back for local club Moghreb Tétouan between 2010 and 2017. He was hailed as part of the club's "golden generation" that won the Botola Pro 1 league in 2012 and 2014 and took part in the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup.[3] He made 164 league appearances for the club and scored 7 goals.[2]

Abarhoun joined Portuguese Primeira Liga club Moreirense in June 2017 after refusing to sign a new contract with Tétouan.[3][4] Abarhoun was the eighth player brought to the club by new manager Manuel Machado.[4] He scored his only goal for the club on 10 September in a 2–0 win at Estroil Praia, their first win of the season.[5] Machado was sacked by the club in October following a run of poor results.[6] He went on to make 23 league and 5 cup appearances for the club in his first season, in which the club finished fourth from bottom in the league.[7][8] Abarhoun was the preferred starting centre-back for the club in the first part of the 2018–19 season, under new manager Ivo Vieira, and made 1 cup and 14 league appearances.[9][7]

Abarhoun joined Turkish club Çaykur Rizespor in January 2019 on an 18-month initial contract.[3][10][11] The transfer fee generated €200,000 for Moreirense.[9] Rizespor manager Okan Buruk stated that Abarhoun was brought in to bolster the club's defence during their fight to avoid relegation from the Süper Lig.[11] Abarhoun played in 16 league games for Rizespor that season and the club finished mid-table in 11th position.[12][7] Abarhoun made 20 league for Rizespor in the 2019–20 season before illness ended his career.[7] His last match was a 2–1 defeat at home to İstanbul Başakşehir on 24 February 2020.[13] He also made one cup appearance, during a 2–1 loss away to Galatasaray in the second leg of the 8th round of the Turkish Cup on 23 January 2020.[7]

International career[edit]

Abarhoun played nine games for the Morocco under-20 team and eight for the under-23 team.[3][14] This included three appearances at the 2012 Summer Olympics where the team drew two games and lost one to finish third in Group D.[3][15] He made his senior international debut in 2013 and went on to earn seven international caps.[2]

Illness and death[edit]

In February 2020 Abarhoun reported feeling sick prior to a league match against Trabzonspor. He was taken to Istanbul's Acıbadem Hospital and was diagnosed with stomach cancer.[16][17][18] In June 2020 a Rizespor spokesman claimed that Abarhoun was seriously ill and expected that he would not return to playing football.[19] He was released by Rizespor at the end of the season, but continued to receive financial support from the club for his condition.[16][17]

Abarhoun announced that he was recovering and feeling better in October 2020 and was hopeful of a return to football, but he died of the disease on 2 December 2020, at the age of 31.[3]
