Olympique Akbou Signs First Foreign Player in Club History
Olympique Akbou writes history and signs its first foreign player, Ivorian striker Romaric Watara (20 years old), in a deal that carries a lot of ambition and positive signals from the management of the Bejaia club.
Watara, who plays as a center forward, recently terminated his contract with CR Belouizdad after a season that did not meet expectations, having joined the club at the beginning of 2024 from Stade Abidjan, one of the prominent clubs in Ivory Coast. His remarkable performance in the Ivorian league, where he finished the season as the top scorer, caught the attention of the management of CR Belouizdad, which bet on him as a young attacking talent.
However, the dream of shining in the Algerian league faced a tough reality, as the player suffered a serious injury to his cruciate ligament, which affected his readiness and physical condition, limiting his appearances with CR Belouizdad to only 7 matches, during which he scored one goal.
After a comprehensive assessment of his situation, the management of CR Belouizdad decided to terminate his contract, allowing Watara to open a new chapter in his professional career, this time with Olympique Akbou, the rising and ambitious club that seeks to write a new history and strengthen its squad with young players who possess talent and ambition.
The deal has a special significance, not only because it marks Watara's first professional experience outside the Algerian capital, but also because it makes him the first foreign player to wear the Olympique Akbou jersey in its history, reflecting the club's vision to expand its horizons and invest in talents capable of developing and contributing to achieving the team's goals.
Everyone is now anticipating a strong comeback from this young striker, and everyone is waiting to see what Watara will deliver in a new environment, wearing the colors of a club that provides him with full confidence and support.
