AS FAR and Ismaïl Ouro-Agoro part ways
AS FAR and Togolese striker Ismaïl Ouro-Agoro have mutually agreed to end their association, effective Tuesday, July 9, 2024. Despite signing a three-year contract last season, Ouro-Agoro will leave the Moroccan club after just one year.
The separation marks the conclusion of a short-lived stint for the Togolese international at the Royal Armed Forces club.
His departure had been anticipated for nearly a month, with reports suggesting he was among the players expected to exit at the end of the season.
Ouro-Agoro’s tenure at AS FAR was marred by limited playing time and competition for starting positions.
In his first season, he managed to make only nine appearances, with just two starts.
The lack of opportunities to showcase his talent led to growing frustration and ultimately, the decision to seek an early release from his contract.
Having arrived from Ethiopia last year, Ouro-Agoro had high hopes of making a significant impact at AS FAR.
However, the reality of being frequently benched dampened his aspirations.
Despite the club’s desire to retain him, the former ASCK star opted for an amicable departure, prioritizing his need for regular playing time and career progression.
The decision to part ways was reached by mutual consent, reflecting the understanding between the player and the club.
Both parties acknowledged the need for a resolution that would benefit Ouro-Agoro’s professional journey and AS FAR’s squad dynamics.

For Ismaïl Ouro-Agoro, the end of his time with AS FAR opens up new possibilities.
As a free agent, he now has the opportunity to explore offers that align better with his ambitions and playing style.
The Togolese striker will be looking for a club where he can secure more consistent playing time and make a significant impact on the field.
The market for talented forwards is always active, and Ouro-Agoro’s experience and skills will likely attract interest from clubs seeking to bolster their attacking options.
His ability to adapt to different leagues and environments, as evidenced by his previous stint in Ethiopia, adds to his appeal as a versatile and capable player.
For AS FAR, the departure of Ouro-Agoro signifies a step in their ongoing efforts to refine and strengthen their squad.
