Official: Yassine Chikhaoui Leaves FC Zurich for Al-Gharafa
After eight memorable seasons with FC Zurich, Tunisian international Yassine Chikhaoui is embarking on a new chapter in his career. The talented attacking midfielder has officially signed with Al-Gharafa SC in Qatar, marking the end of his long and distinguished spell in Swiss football.
FC Zurich confirmed the departure on their official website and paid glowing tribute to the 29-year-old:
“No one will deny that Yassine was one of the best footballers to have ever played in Switzerland. He didn’t always recover to his full potential due to his injury last season. I am happy for him and his family.”
Chikhaoui, known for his flair, vision, and technical quality, became a fan favorite in Zurich but struggled with recurring injuries in recent seasons. Despite that, he remained a symbol of loyalty and talent during his time at the club.
His move to the Qatari league offers a new opportunity both professionally and personally, as he looks to revive his form and continue contributing on the pitch in a less physically demanding environment.
