Ismael Benktib (born 4 July 1998) is a professional footballer who plays for SCC Mohammedia as a central midfielder. Born in Spain, he represented Morocco at youth international levels.

Club career[edit]

Born in L'Ametlla del Vallès, Barcelona, Catalonia, Benktib joined Elche CF's youth setup in 2014, from Girona FC.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 23 August 2015, starting in a 1–0 Tercera División away win against FC Jove Español.[2]

On 7 June 2016, Benktib renewed his contract with the club.[3] He made his first-team debut on 10 September of the following year, coming on as a late substitute for Juan José Collantes in a 4–1 home routing of CF Peralada-Girona B in the Segunda División B championship.

On 29 May 2018, Elche announced that Benktib's contract was extended until 2021, after exercising the automatic renewal option in his previous deal; the club also announced that he would become a permanent member of the main squad in the 2018–19 campaign.[4] Four days later, however, his agent stated that his contract would only be renewed for one further year if the club achieved promotion to Segunda División;[5] Elche later denied the claims.[6]

In September 2018, Benktib started training with Recreativo de Huelva[7] and signed a contract with the club afterwards. Elche later took a legal action against the player due to a "breach of contract", which the federation dismissed; he was registered by his new club in October.[8]

On 23 January 2019, after not playing a single minute with Recreativo, Benktib joined Levante UD's B-team, also in the third division.[9] Roughly one year later, after again featuring rarely, he terminated his contract[10] and returned to Elche, being again assigned to their reserve side.[11]

On 17 August 2020, Benktib agreed to a two-year contract with Racing de Santander, recently relegated to the division three.[12] He left the club the following 4 February with only four matches, and was transferred to Moroccan side Maghreb de Fès.[13]

On February 1, 2022, Benktib accepted a two-year contract with SCC Mohammedia, who are currently playing in Botola. He left the club on February 1 Maghreb de Fès where he played more than 21 matches for 1 goals.
