Adnan Aziz, a young Beninese striker born on January 1, 2002, in Djougou, is now emerging as one of the most promising talents of his generation. Since his early days, he has demonstrated exceptional talent, impressive consistency, and a remarkable goal-scoring instinct, which quickly earned him recognition in Benin, France, Italy, and now Argentina. His journey reflects the power of hard work, discipline, perseverance, and unwavering ambition.
Promising beginnings in Benin and France
Trained at Tchemabi FC, Adnan Aziz was later transferred to Soleil FC, a club well known for developing young talents in Benin. At just 15–16 years old, he moved to Angers MFC in France, where he became the youngest top scorer of the team, netting 46 goals in 22 matches during the 2019–2020 season.
During this period, he also had a trial with SOC Cholet (National 1), confirming his potential to play professional football in France.
He also stood out in a regional tournament in Angers featuring several African community teams, where he finished as the top scorer. Following these performances, he signed in 2020 with the Italian agency Star Sport Group and then joined Licata Calcio in Serie D, where he began gaining experience at a professional level through friendly and official matches.
Steady progress at club level
In 2021, Adnan Aziz joined Saumur Olympique in National 2, where he played more than 22 official matches (league and cup). During his time there, he was pre-selected for the Benin U23 national team and took part in several preparatory friendly matches for the U23 AFCON qualifiers. In those games against top-division Beninese clubs, he scored a goal and confirmed his ability to perform at a high level.
In 2022, he signed with the Italian club ASD Juvenilia Roseto, where he played more than 44 official matches in all competitions. A serious knee injury temporarily halted his progress, but after several months of rehabilitation, he returned stronger and more determined than ever.
International experience and national team potential
Selected several times for Benin’s U23 and U20 teams, Adnan Aziz missed some competitions in 2020 due to administrative issues, but he made the most of his opportunities whenever he was available. He notably scored during friendly matches in preparation for the U23 AFCON, confirming his qualities and his potential to represent his country on the international stage.

Adnan Aziz has a very complete profile:
1.86 m tall, 80 kg
strong physical presence
precise technique
natural goal-scoring instinct
tactical intelligence
positive aggression on the pitch
exemplary consistency and discipline
His dynamic playing style, ability to create chances, and clinical finishing make him a modern striker capable of adapting to different systems and levels of competition.
A major turning point: heading to Argentina
Long linked with a move to Nigeria, Adnan Aziz is now expected to make his next step in Argentina. The young Beninese striker is currently on trial with a second-division club, aiming to return to competitive football after a long period of recovery.
During this trial, he has stood out thanks to his commitment, physical presence, and attacking impact. His performances have impressed club officials, who are now seriously considering offering him his first professional contract.
The identity of the club has not yet been officially confirmed. However, according to some sources, it could be Defensores de Belgrano, an ambitious team competing in Argentina’s second division.
After months away from the pitch, the most important thing now is his gradual return to competition. If everything goes as planned, the Beninese striker could soon turn the page and begin a new chapter in South America.
