Yunis Abdelhamid has been a part of Reims since 2017, when the team was still in Ligue 2. However, this 2023-2024 season will be his last with the Red and Whites. The club has decided not to extend his contract, which expires in June 2024. It’s a disappointment for the Moroccan international (14 caps). « My story with Reims is coming to an end. (He repeats.) My future with Reims will come to an end at the end of the season… The club has informed me that I will not be extended. We have spent seven beautiful seasons together. Our paths will separate, » confirms the 36-year-old player to L’Equipe.
Yunis Abdelhamid continues: « Disappointment? I wouldn’t say that. Well… a little bit, because I didn’t expect it, especially after last season, where my performances allowed me to regain my place in the Moroccan national team. There is always a bit of sadness, it’s football, we have to accept it. I have spent seven years at Reims, where I have been quite consistent with good results. When I learned after the match against Lorient (February 11th) that I would not be extended, it hit me a little. Then, I took the time to digest it. And as we said, the most important thing is to finish the season well together. And we will part ways in the best possible way. » Since 2017, the defender has played 242 matches with Reims.
