Club career

In the summer of 2019, Habti was called up to the first team by Patrice Carteron and flied to Agadir for a preseason camp held between the 12th and 21 July.[1] He made his debut in a friendly match against the English side of Oldham Athletic FC alongside Mahmoud Benhalib and Mouhcine Iajour in the front line.[2]

On 10 August in Banjul, he made his professional debut during the first game of the season against Brikama United in the first round of the 2019-20 Champions League (draw 3-3).[3]

On 10 January 2020, he made it to the starting line-up for the first time under Jamal Sellami against JS Kabylie at the 1 November 1954 Stadium in Tizi-Ouzou in the group stage of the Champions League (draw 0-0).[4]

On 15 January 2021, the club announced the extension of Zakaria Habti's contract until the end of the 2023–2024 season.[5]

On 3 March, he delivered his first assist in the quarter-final of the Throne Cup against the US Sidi Kacem (2-0 victory).[6]

On 21 April, he scored his first professional goal against the Namungo FC in the Confederation Cup group stage. He also assisted Ilias Haddad (0-3 victory).[7] [8]

On 27 June, he was injured against Pyramids FC in the semi-final second leg of the Confederation Cup. Medical examinations reveal sprained ankle ligaments and is therefore withdrawn from the decisive Derby scheduled a few days later.[9] However, he returned in time to fly with the team to Cotonou to play in the final of the Confederation Cup. He does not play a minute and Raja beat JS Kabylie (2-1).[10]
