Yassine Bounou becomes the first gold member in the history of Wydad Casablanca.

Yassine Bounou began his career at Wydad's academy when he was eight years old, progressing through the ranks until he reached the first team, before moving to Atletico Madrid in 2012.

After that, Bounou had stints in Spain with Real Zaragoza, Girona, and Sevilla, where he won the UEFA Europa League twice and was awarded the Zamora Trophy for the best goalkeeper in La Liga for the 2021-2022 season.

Bounou joined Al Hilal in 2023, becoming a key player for the team, which later extended his contract until 2028.

Bounou's name is also linked to one of the most significant achievements in Moroccan football, having contributed to his national team's historic run to the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup, a groundbreaking feat for an African and Arab team.

After a journey that took him from Casablanca to Europe and Riyadh, Wydad symbolically returned Bounou to his roots by including him in its list of golden members, carrying the golden membership number 001 as the first golden member in the club's history.
