Hassan Nader (born 8 July 1965 in Casablanca) is a retired Moroccan footballer who played as a striker.

Club career

Nader started his career with local club Wydad AC Casablanca, before starting an European adventure in 1990–91 with La Liga team RCD Mallorca. He failed to adjust in the Balearic Islands' side, and would see the team be relegated at the end of his second season, as last.

In July 1992, Nader moved to Portuguese league side S.C. Farense, becoming the league's top scorer in 1994–95, at 21 goals, being influential in the Algarve side's UEFA Cup qualification. During eight years, he played in the team alongside compatriot Hajry Redouane.

After that fantastic spell, he moved to league powerhouse S.L. Benfica, but only appeared sparingly throughout two seasons and, after expressing dissatisfaction, moved back to Farense, where he would remain there until his 2004 retirement, at 39, as the team was relegated to the fourth level – he netted 11 league goals in his final year.

International career

A full Moroccan international on 15 occasions, Nader played at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, scoring against Holland in a 1–2 defeat, and at the 1992 Africa Cup of Nations.
