Ziyech joins Botafogo ahead of 2026 World Cup

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. The Moroccan could prove decisive in his national team's ambitions for the tournament.
