Hamza Rachidi: France-Morocco Forward Completes Free Transfer from FC Chalon to Macon 71

France-Morocco centre-forward Hamza Rachidi has completed a permanent move from FC Chalon to Macon 71 on a free transfer, signing a contract that starts on 2026-07-02 and runs until 2026-06-30. The 25-year-old attacker joins the French side after leaving Chalon at the end of his previous deal, with no transfer fee involved in the switch and no official market value listed at the time of the move.

Rachidi, listed primarily as an attack-minded centre-forward and a right-footed player, becomes a confirmed addition to Macon 71’s squad. The transfer, recorded on 2026-07-02, sees him remain in France, moving between two French clubs whose league designations are listed as N/A. There is therefore no indication in the available data that he is stepping into a different division, nor that he is moving abroad; both his previous and new clubs are French.

Born in Vierzon on 26 Apr 2001, Rachidi holds dual nationality with France and Morocco, and is officially described as “FranceMorocco” in some datasets. At 25, he arrives at Macon 71 at an age often considered to be a key period for a forward’s development and consistency. His profile identifies him as a central striker, an attacking focal point expected to operate through the middle of the front line.

The data indicates that Macon 71 is also listed as his “national team” entry, suggesting he has not yet been recorded with a senior national side for either France or Morocco, and that his competitive footballing activity is documented only at club level. No previous clubs beyond FC Chalon and Macon 71 are specified in the dataset, and there is no registered market valuation for him at the point of transfer, reinforcing that he arrives without a formal fee or valuation benchmark attached.

Details such as appearances, goals, assists, and recent match performances are not provided in the current data, nor are there records of specific fixtures, opponents, dates, scorelines or individual contributions. Likewise, there is no available season-by-season statistical breakdown for either FC Chalon or Macon 71 during his time at those clubs. As a result, any assessment of his form or impact prior to the move cannot be quantified from the information at hand.

Rachidi’s social media presence is documented, with active Facebook and Instagram accounts listed, underlining a degree of public profile despite the absence of formal market value or detailed statistical records. His move to Macon 71 therefore represents a confirmed career step within the French game, but the scale and significance of that step in sporting terms remain difficult to measure with the limited data.

With the contract now in place from 2026-07-02 to 2026-06-30, the transfer formally closes his chapter at FC Chalon and opens a new one at Macon 71. How the France-Morocco forward uses this period to establish himself, build a statistical track record, and potentially attract attention from higher-profile leagues or national-team selectors will be defined on the pitch rather than in the numbers currently available.
