Naouirou Mohamed Ahamada

Naouirou Mohamed Ahamada is a French central midfielder born in Marseille on 29 March 2002. He developed in the city’s youth football before moving through FC Istres and joining Juventus in 2018, where he played with the club’s Next Gen side and in the UEFA Youth League. Ahamada moved to VfB Stuttgart on loan in 2020 and completed a permanent transfer in 2021. During the 2022–23 campaign, he established himself in Stuttgart’s midfield, combining ball-carrying, short passing and defensive work. Crystal Palace signed him in January 2023, but he more often appeared from the bench during his time in England. A loan spell with Rennes followed in 2024, giving him a return to France while limiting his opportunities. Ahamada later joined Auxerre, where the mobile 183-centimetre midfielder continues to pursue regular first-team football.
