Born in the Netherlands but naturalized Moroccan, the forward has played for major clubs in European football, including Ajax (2016-2020), Chelsea (2020-2023), Galatasaray (2023-2025), and Wydad Casablanca.

In Moroccan football, Ziyech accumulated 16 matches for Wydad Casablanca, with nine goals scored and two assists.
