Morocco forward Soufiane Rahimi crowned UAE Pro League Fans’ Player of the Season

Moroccan international Soufiane Rahimi has been crowned the Fans’ Player of the Season at the UAE Pro League Awards after enjoying an outstanding campaign with Al Ain FC.

The 30-year-old forward received the prestigious award during the ceremony held on Monday evening at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.

Rahimi emerged as the winner after topping the fan vote organised by the UAE Pro League through its official website and mobile application.

The Al Ain striker finished ahead of his fellow nominees, including defender Rami Rabia, formerly of Egyptian giants Al Ahly, and Argentine playmaker Nicolas Jimenez of Al Wasl.

The Moroccan received widespread support from football fans across the United Arab Emirates and other parts of the Arab world, with Moroccan, Egyptian and Emirati supporters reportedly playing a significant role in the voting process.

Rahimi’s recognition comes after another impressive season in which he established himself as one of Al Ain’s most influential attacking players.

The Moroccan forward played a crucial role in the club’s campaign, consistently contributing with his goals, assists and creativity in the final third.

His ability to deliver in important matches further enhanced his reputation, with Rahimi regularly producing decisive moments that helped Al Ain compete for major honours across domestic and continental competitions.

The award also underlines the popularity the Moroccan has built since arriving at Al Ain, where he has developed into one of the standout players in Emirati football.

Rahimi has become particularly renowned for his movement, finishing ability and capacity to create scoring opportunities for his teammates, qualities that have made him a key figure in Al Ain’s attacking setup.

His growing influence has also strengthened his standing as one of the most prominent Moroccan and Arab players currently competing in the UAE Pro League.

Winning the Fans’ Player of the Season award adds another individual accolade to Rahimi’s growing collection and reflects the strong connection he has established with supporters.

With the new season approaching, attention will now turn to whether the Moroccan international can maintain his impressive form and continue playing a decisive role for Al Ain.

Rahimi will be hoping to build on his latest success and remain one of the leading attacking figures in Emirati football.
