Hamza Igamane (Arabic: حمزة إكمان; born 2 November 2002) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Botola club AS FAR.

Coming from the AS FAR training centre, he is the youngest player in the history of AS FAR to win the national title, the Throne Cup and the U23 African Cup of Nations, all in an exceptionally short period of time.

Club career[edit]

AS FAR[edit]

Hamza Igamane was born in Témara in Morocco and grew up in the Massira 2 district in a family of footballers, and joined the ASFAR Football Academy from an early age.

During the 2022–23 season, Igmane established himself as a key element of the club's squad and produced remarkable performances during the Confederation Cup.[1] AS FAR and Igamane were eliminated in the quarter-finals after a cumulative score (return match) of 4–3 in favor of USM Alger, winners of this edition.[2][3]

On 23 June 2023, on the last day of the championship, he won the Moroccan championship after a 2–3 victory against Ittihad Riadhi Tangier away and ahead of Wydad AC who finished runners-up.[4][5] He ends the 2023–2024 season as vice-champion of Morocco.[6]

International career[edit]

Appearing on Walid Regragui's pre-selected list in March 2023 for friendly matches against Brazil and Peru, he is not included on the final list.[7] During the press conference for this international break, Regragui said about Igamane: “Igamane is progressing. We follow him closely. When the time is right, he will be called up to the first team . For the moment, he is with the U23s . His time will come".[8]

On 22 March 2023, he joined the Morocco under-23 team under then coach Issame Charaï for a friendly match against Olympic Ivory Coast in Rabat as part of preparations for the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations which took place in Morocco later that year.[9][10] During this match, he started but conceded three goals (defeat, 2–3).[11] Two days later, he appeared on the bench during a new friendly match against Olympic Togo, making no entry into play (victory, 2–0).[12]

On June 9, 2023, he appeared on Charaï's final list to take part in the CAN U23 which took place in Morocco.[13] The group stage matches take place at the end of June against Olympic Guinea, Olympic Ghana and Olympic DR Congo at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.[14] On June 24, 2023, during the first match against Olympic Guinea, he was put on the bench for 90 minutes despite a Moroccan victory (victory, 2–1).[15] Established during the first match against Olympic Guinea (victory, 2–1), he was put on the bench for the second time in a row during the second day of the U23 CAN against Olympic Ghana and nevertheless validated his ticket for the semi-finals of the competition after a 5–1 victory .[16][17] On 30 June, he played his first match of the competition against the Olympic Congo, coming on in the 46th minute in place of Couhaib Driouech (victory, 1–0).[18] The final was won by Morocco in overtime against Olympic Egypt thanks to a goal from Oussama Targhalline (victory, 2–1).[19][20]
