Club career

Cheddira spent the first four seasons of his senior career in the lower, non-professional tiers of Italian football.[2]

On 10 July 2019, Cheddira signed a three-year contract with Serie A club Parma,[3] who loaned him to Arezzo in Serie C on 22 July.[4] He made his professional Serie C debut on 25 August, as a starter in a game against Lecco.[5] After half a season, Parma sent Cheddira on loan to Lecco on 31 January 2020,[6] and to Mantova on 4 September.[7]

On 18 July 2021, Cheddira joined Bari on loan,[8] who made the deal permanent on 30 June 2022, signing a contract until June 2025.[9]

On 20 August 2023, Cheddira was signed by Napoli and loaned to Frosinone for the 2023–24 season.[10]

On 27 August 2024, Cheddira moved on a new loan to Espanyol in Spain.[11] On 1 September 2025, he was loaned to Sassuolo with an option to buy.[12]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Cheddira was born in Italy and is Moroccan by descent.[13] He was called up to play for the Morocco national team for two friendlies against Chile and Paraguay on 23 and 27 September 2022, respectively;[14] he made his debut against Chile as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 win.[15]

On 10 November 2022, Cheddira was named in Morocco's 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[16][17] He made his competition debut as an 82nd-minute substitute in the round of 16 against Spain, a penalty shoot-out victory for Morocco following a 0–0 draw after extra time.[18] In the quarter-finals against Portugal, Cheddira came on in the 65th minute, and was sent off for two yellow cards in stoppage time. Morocco won 1–0.[19][20]
