Hakim Ziyech, a key figure in Morocco's impressive run at the 2022 World Cup, has signed with Botafogo. The 33-year-old left winger has been inactive since June, awaiting his clearance from the Brazilian federation. With 9 goals scored for Wydad Casablanca, Ziyech aims to return to competition before the 2026 World Cup held in North America.
