Club career

Abarhoun was born in Tétouan, Morocco on 3 May 1989. He 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 June 2017 after refusing to sign a new contract with Tétouan.[2][3] Abarhoun was the eighth player brought to the club by new manager Manuel Machado.[3] Machado was sacked by the club in October following a run of poor results.[4] Abarhoun remained at the club under his successors Sérgio Vieira and Petit. 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.[5][6] Abarhoun was the preferred starting centre-back for the club in the first part of the 2018-19 season and made 14 league and 1 cup appearance.[7][5]

Abarhoun joined Turkish club Çaykur Rizespor in January 2019 on an 18 month initial contract.[2][8][9] The transfer fee generated €200,000 for Moreirense.[7] 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.[9] Aberhoun played in 16 league games for Rizespor that season and the club finished mid-table in 11th position.[10][5] Abarhoun made 20 league for Rizespor in the 2019–20 season before illness ended his career.[5] His last match was a 2–1 defeat at home to İstanbul Başakşehir on 24 February 2020.[11] 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.[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][12] He made his senior international debut in 2013 and went on to earn seven international caps.[1]

Illness and death

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 diagnosed with stomach cancer.[13][14][15] In June 2020 a Rizespor spokesman claimed that Abarhoun was seriously ill and expected that he would not return to playing football.[16] He was released by Rizespor at the end of the season, but continued to receive financial support from the club for his condition.[13][14]

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]
