Hamza Igamane

Hamza Igamane (Arabic: حمزة إكمان, Berber languages: ⵃⴰⵎⵣⴰ ⵉⴳⴰⵎⴰⵏ; born 2 November 2002) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Lille and the Morocco national team.

Hamza Igamane was born in Témara in Morocco and grew up in the Massira 2 district in a family of footballers, and joined the ASFAR Football Academy from an early age.

During the 2022–23 season, Igmane established himself as a key element of the club's squad and produced remarkable performances during the Confederation Cup. AS FAR and Igamane were eliminated in the quarter-finals after a cumulative score (return match) of 4–3 in favor of USM Alger, winners of this edition.

On 23 June 2023, on the last day of the championship, he won the Moroccan championship after a 2–3 victory against Ittihad Riadhi Tangier away and ahead of Wydad AC who finished runners-up. He ends the 2023–2024 season as vice-champion of Morocco.

On 5 July 2024, Igamane signed a five-year deal with Scottish Premiership side Rangers for an undisclosed fee. Which was widely reported to be around £1.7 million plus add-ons. He sustained an injury during the summer which ruled him out of the squad for the first couple of months of the season before making his debut on 1 September 2024 in a 3–0 away defeat to Rangers rivals Celtic coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Václav Černý. He scored his first goal for Rangers during a 4–0 victory against FC Steaua București at Ibrox on 24 October 2024 in the UEFA Europa League group stage.

Igamane would mostly be used as a substitute during the beginning of his Rangers career but on 28 November 2024, he found himself in the starting line-up against OGC Nice again in the UEFA Europa League group stage where he scored a brace and got an assist during a 4–1 victory at the Allianz Riviera. On 4 December 2024, Igamane scored his first Scottish Premiership goal for Rangers, a powerful strike outside the box which flew into the bottom left corner during a 6–0 victory over Kilmarnock at Ibrox. He followed this up over the next week with goals in both a 3–0 victory over Ross County and a 1–1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur to take his tally to five goals in five games and four goals in his first four Europa League matches. On 29 December 2024, Rangers found themselves 2–0 down in a league match against Motherwell. Igamane came on as a second-half substitute and scored a brace to level the match and rescue a point for Rangers.

On 5 January 2025, Igamane scored his first career hat-trick (which was also a perfect hat-trick, having scored with both his feet and his head) against Hibernian in a 3-3 draw at Easter Road. On 12 January 2025, he scored in a 3–1 victory against St Johnstone. Three days later he scored his seventh goal in six games during a 3–0 victory over Rangers rivals Aberdeen. For his performances over the month Igamane received his first ever Scottish Premiership Player of the Month award. On 16 March 2025, Igamane scored his first Old Firm goal, an 88th-minute winner as Rangers defeated Celtic 3–2 at Celtic Park for the first time since 2020. On 13 April, he scored the first goal as 10–man Rangers came from 2–0 down to draw 2–2 with Aberdeen at Pitodrie in the Scottish Premiership. On 27 April 2025, Igamane was awarded the Young Player of the Year and Goal of the Season awards for his goal against Celtic earlier in the month at Rangers Player Awards Ceremony for 2025. On 11 May 2025, he scored a volley from 25 yards during a 4–0 victory over Aberdeen at Ibrox which meant he had scored in his last three appearances against The Dons.

On 29 August 2025, Igamane signed a five-year deal with Ligue 1 side Lille for an undisclosed fee. Which was widely reported to be worth £10.4 million. Igamane made his debut a day later coming on as a second half substitute for Marius Broholm in a league match against FC Lorient and scored a brace during a 7–1 victory.
