Seventh signing for Deportivo Alavés on their return to Liga F Moeve. Following the signings of Somea Polozen (FC Nordsjælland), Juliette Vidal (Bayer Leverkusen), Kim Shinji (AS Roma), Yorladiz Díaz (CP Cacereño), Andrea Gómez (Granada CF) and Amaya García (Real Madrid CF B), the Babazorros have announced the arrival of Hanane Ait El Haj (2 November 1994, Agadir). The Moroccan defender has extensive experience with her country. At club level, she began her career playing for AS FAR in the Campeonato Femenino de Marruecos in 2016. She then played for Zaragoza CFF before returning to AS FAR Rabat. In the 2024/2025 season, she was at Valencia CF, where she accumulated 969 minutes in Liga F Moeve across 19 matches, providing one assist. She then returned to AS FAR Rabat, the club she joins from, with whom she has won numerous titles.
The full-back, who arrives in Vitoria to strengthen the left flank, is the captain of the Morocco national team, with whom she is currently competing in the Africa Cup, extending to seven the list of Liga F Moeve players participating in the African tournament. In the first match, she started and provided two assists in her country's 4-0 victory over Kenya. With the Moroccan squad, she has finished as Africa Cup runner-up twice, in 2022 and 2024. She is a full-back with a wide-ranging presence, with a clear attacking inclination, and a great ability to beat opponents with the ball. She stands out for her significant involvement in building her team's plays. Defensively, she excels due to her intensity and aggression in duels. "Hello Albiazules, it's an honour to be part of this family and I'm really looking forward to getting started. Goazen Gloriosas," declared the defender.
