Munir Mohand Mohamedi El Kajoui (Arabic: منير محند محمدي الكجوي; born 10 May 1989), known simply as Munir, is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Botola club RS Berkane and the Morocco national team.

He played for Ceuta B, Almería B, Melilla, Numancia, Málaga, Hatayspor, Al Wehda and RS Berkane.

Born in Spain, Munir represented Morocco at international level, making his debut in 2015 and being part of the squads at two World Cups and four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Melilla, Munir played youth football with CG Goyu Ryu and AD Ceuta,[3] and made his debut as a senior with the latter's reserves in the regional leagues.[4] On 29 January 2009 he moved to another reserve team, UD Almería B from Tercera División,[5] but appeared sparingly and was subsequently released.[6]

Munir joined UD Melilla in summer 2009, initially being assigned to the reserves and being definitely promoted to the main squad in the Segunda División B the following year. He acted mainly as a backup to Pedro Dorronsoro in his first two seasons at the club, becoming a starter afterwards.[7]

On 17 June 2014, Munir signed a two-year contract with Segunda División side CD Numancia.[8] On 10 September he made his professional debut, starting in a 1–1 away draw against CD Leganés in the second round of the Copa del Rey and also saving two penalties during the shootout.[9]

Munir made his debut in the second tier on 19 October 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 loss at UD Las Palmas.[10] He was first choice for the remainder of the campaign, overtaking Biel Ribas.[11]

Munir left the Soria team at the end of 2017–18, after losing his starting spot to Aitor Fernández.[12] On 19 July 2018, he joined Málaga CF also in the second division.[13]

From 2020 to 2022, Munir competed in the Turkish Süper Lig with Hatayspor.[14] On 10 June 2022, he agreed to a two-year deal at Saudi Arabian club Al Wehda FC.[15]

On 2 July 2024, RS Berkane announced the signing of Munir on a two-year contract.[16]

International career

[edit]

Having Moroccan-Riffian heritage, Munir switched his allegiance to its national team in 2014. On 9 March 2015, he was called up by manager Ezzaki Badou for a friendly against Uruguay to be held late in the month,[17] and made his debut by starting in the 1–0 loss.[18]

On 29 December 2016, Munir was included in Hervé Renard's 23-man squad for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations,[19] and started the whole tournament ahead of Yassine Bounou. He was also selected to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia,[20] making his first appearance in the World Cup on 15 June in the 1–0 group stage defeat to Iran.[21]

Munir was also selected for the 2019[22] and 2021 Africa Cup of Nations[23] and the 2022 World Cup.[24][25] After starter Bounou fell ill shortly before the start of the group-stage fixture against Belgium in the latter tournament, he replaced him and eventually contributed to a 2–0 win in Doha;[26] he and his teammates were part of the first African nation ever to reach the semi-finals of the competition.[27]

Munir was amongst the 27 players picked by coach Walid Regragui for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.[28][29] He also made the squad for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris as an overage player,[30] playing all the minutes and winning the bronze medal.[31]
