Kerala Blasters FC is currently in a relegation zone with poor performance this season. The team has only managed to earn one point from six matches, placing them 13th in the points table after losing five of those matches.

In a significant development, the club has announced the signing of 33-year-old Moroccan midfielder Karim Benarif. He joins the team under the guidance of head coach Ashley Westwood, who is looking to revitalize the squad following the recent sacking of David Catala.

Benarif most recently played for Karbala FC in the Iraq Stars League and is recognized for his composure on the ball and tactical awareness. His experience spans across North Africa and the Middle East, making him a valuable addition to the Blasters’ midfield, which has struggled with cohesion this season.

Fans are optimistic that Benarif’s arrival will address the team’s midfield issues, with many eagerly anticipating his debut. The management believes that he will bring the necessary creativity to enhance the team’s performance.

Previously, the Blasters had a Moroccan player, Noah Sadaoui, who also contributed to the team’s dynamics. Benarif’s signing is seen as a crucial step towards improving the club’s fortunes as they aim to climb out of the relegation zone.

Benarif started his football career in the youth system of FAR Rabat and has participated in major African club tournaments, including the African Champions League. He was also selected for the Morocco A national team in 2015.

As the team prepares for the upcoming matches, observers are hopeful that Benarif’s experience and skills will make a significant impact. This signing is viewed as a much-needed boost for a club that has faced challenges this season.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact date of Benarif’s debut, but expectations are high among fans and management alike as they look forward to seeing him in action.
