Nourdin Boukhari

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nourdin Boukhari (Arabic: نوردين بخاري‎) (born 30 June 1980 in Kralingen, Rotterdam) is a Dutch-Moroccan footballer. He currently plays for FC Nantes coming from Ajax where he made his debut against FC Groningen on 1 September 2002 (1-3). He previously played for Sparta where he stood out for his technical skill.

Boukhari chose to represent Morocco in international football. The choice is significant as it represents the strong ties many Dutch youths with Moroccan roots have with their parents' native country. Over the years, Boukhari has addressed the bad publicity surrounding Moroccan-Dutch youths, stating he wishes to set an example as a successful young Dutch-Moroccan. In 2003, he appeared in the music video for "Kutmarokkanen" ("Damn Moroccans") by Amsterdam-born rapper Raymzter.
