Mohamed Abarhoun (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. Aberhoun also represented Morocco at under-20, under-23 and senior level. He died of stomach cancer at the age of 31.

Club career

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.[2] He made 164 league appearances for the club and scored 7 goals.[1]

Abarhoun joined Portuguese Primeira Liga club Moreirense in 2017.[2] He made 23 league and 5 cup appearances for the club in the 2017–18 season, and 14 league and 1 cup appearance in the 2018–19 season.[3] Abarhoun afterwards joined Turkish club Çaykur Rizespor.[2][4] He made 20 league and one cup appearance for Rizespor in the 2019–20 season before illness ended his career.[3] His last match was a 2–1 defeat at home to İstanbul Başakşehir on 24 February 2020.[5]

International career

Abarhoun played nine games for the Morocco U20 team and eight for the Morocco U23 team, including three at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[2][6] He made his senior international debut in 2013 and went on to earn seven international caps.[1]

Illness and death and death

During his time at Çaykur Rizespor, Abarhoun was diagnosed with stomach cancer after feeling sick prior to a league match against Trabzonspor in February 2020.[7][8] In June 2020 a Rizespor spokesman claimed that Abarhoun was seriously ill and expected that he would not return to playing football.[9] He was released by Rizespor at the end of the season, but continued to receive financial support from the club for his condition.[7][8]

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.[2]
