Sabir Bougrine (; born 10 July 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Botola side Raja CA and the Morocco national team.
Bougrine joined the JMG Academy in Lierse in 2009, and moved to Lierse in 2014. Bougrine made his professional debut with Lierse in a 3âÂÂ1 Belgian First Division A loss to Lommel SK on 25 May 2015. After a couple successful seasons in Lierse where he was one of the better players, Bougrine left the club due to financial difficulties the club had.
On 30 January 2018, Bougrine signed with Paris FC in the French Ligue 2.
On 18 July 2020, Bougrine signed a two-year contract with Azerbaijan Premier League side Neftçi PFK.
On 10 January 2022, Bougrine signed a three-year and half contract with Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 minnows Espérance de Tunis.
Bougrine debuted for the Belgium national under-19 football team in a 0âÂÂ0 tie with the Hungary U19s on 6 September 2014. He switched to represent Morocco, and represented the Morocco U23s in a friendly 1âÂÂ0 win over the Cameroon U23s on 5 June 2016.
On 23 July 2025, he was announced among the list of players called-up by Tarik Sektioui to take part in the 2024 African Nations Championship.
On 3 August 2025, the Atlas Lions began the group stage with a victory against Angola (2âÂÂ0). However, they were surprisingly beaten by the host country, Kenya, by a score of 1âÂÂ0. In a difficult situation, they bounced back against Zambia (goals from Hrimat, Lamlioui and Bougrine who opens his counter) and the DR Congo (goals from Hrimat and a brace from Lamliou). This success allowed the team to qualify for the quarter-finals where they eliminated the surprise of the tournament, Tanzania, by the narrowest of margins (1âÂÂ0), in Dar es Salaam. In the semi-finals, the Moroccans faced the defending champions, Senegal. After a hard-fought match that ended 1âÂÂ1 with a superb goal from Sabir Bougrine, Morocco won on penalties (5âÂÂ3), thus reaching the final. On August 30, at the Nyayo National Stadium, the Atlas Lions won the title by beating Madagascar 3âÂÂ2, thanks to a brace from Oussama Lamlioui.
