Morocco defender Achraf Dari hopes to achieve great things with new outfit Kalmar FF

Morocco international Achraf Dari is hoping to achieve great things with new outfit Kalmar FF after switching from Egyptian side Al Ahly.

The 26-year-old, who is contracted with Al Ahly until 2028, will spend the remainder of the season in Sweden, wearing the number 20 jersey.

The move comes after Al Ahly removed Dari from their squad list to make room for another foreign signing, fellow Moroccan Youssef Belamri.

“I am very happy to be here. I am really looking forward to getting to know my new teammates and playing in front of the fans. I know that Kalmar has a great history, and I will do everything I can to help the team. I hope that we can achieve great things together and get good results in the Swedish league.” He said.

Dari, who joined Al Ahly from French club Stade Brestois 29 at the start of last season, made seven appearances this term, including three during the Cairo Capital Cup and Egypt Cup, after missing 16 matches due to injury.

Kalmar, who secured promotion to the Swedish Premier League after finishing second in the second division last season, will kick off their league campaign on April 4th, with Dari expected to play a key role in their top-flight ambitions.

At the international level, the enterprising centre-back has made seven appearances for the Moroccan national team, scoring one goal since his debut in 2021.
