Youbi was the Treasure for our generation of Footballers, an excellent central back, tall and a scorer with the head, and a solid defender on his legs, a Pearl of the Atlantic City who inspired many players from our Cite Coquillage including the one who writes these words.
Oubi was a man of respect who had a sense of dignity and sought by all means to remain financially independent since the DHJ had never given him the opportunity to shine and let his light shine like many other footballers of my age. generation who learned football in a natural way, they grew up in it and without any coach around or a team giving them the basics of the game, and many of whom waited for the small tennis ball retrieved from the side of the ball to be brought to them. Spiney Park or the rubber “balls” that we received during Eid as sublime gifts.
The small tennis ball recycled in this way had allowed several players from working-class neighborhoods to learn to juggle and this subsequently gave them control and mastery of the large leather ball inflated by a sort of inner tube, which only the masters could rejoice in it. These balls were not often accessible, they were expensive for the common people of our city, those who could obtain them were to ensure their place in the team even if they were « left » in their game, while Oubi Abderrahman was an elegant player with both left and right feet like a ballet dancer on sand and with a chain link and a takiya all wet on the side of the port of Deauville Plage:

Youbi etait le Trésor pour notre génération de Footballeur, un excellent arrière central, grand de taille et un buteur avec la tête, et un défenseur solide sur ses jambes, une Perle de la Ville Atlantique qui inspira beaucoup de joueur de notre Cité Coquillage y compris celui qui écrit ces mots.
Oubi était un homme de respect qui avait le sens de la dignité et cherchait par tous les moyens de rester indépendant financièrement vu que le DHJ ne lui avait jamais donné l’occasion de briller et faire briller sa lumière comme beaucoup d’autres footballeurs de ma génération qui ont appris le foot d’une façon naturel, ils ont grandi dedans et avec sans aucun entraîneur autour ou une équipe leur donnant les bases de jeu, et dont plusieurs attendaient qu’on leur amenait la petite balle de tennis récupérée du côté du Parc Spiney ou bien les « pelotates » de caoutchouc que l’on recevait durant Eid comme sublime cadeau.
La petite balle de tennis recyclée ainsi avait permis a plusieurs joueurs d’origine des quartiers populaires d’apprendre à jongler et cela leur donna par la suite un contrôle et une maîtrise du grand ballon de cuir gonflé par une sorte de chambre à air, que seuls les maîtres pouvaient s’en réjouir. Ces ballons n’étaient pas souvent accessibles, ils étaient chers pour le commun des mortels de notre ville, ceux qui pouvaient s’en procurer étaient d’assurer d’avoir leur place dans l’équipe même s’ils étaient « gauches » dans leur jeu, alors que Oubi Abderrahman etait un joueur élégant des deux pieds gauche et droite comme un danseur de ballet sur du sable et avec un maillon et une takiya tous mouillés du côté du port de Deauville Plage :

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui – 27/11/2023
In the world of football, it was impossible not to meet Abderahman Oubir as it would be unacceptable not to know Oubi if we frequented Mazagan – El Jadida du Port a Boucherit by flying over all the neighboring and corresponding districts.
Si Mohamed « Souiri » Kalii, Anchor of the Café Maure Behara
The pillars of popular wisdom of the Mdina had a privileged place of meeting which served as an Agora of meeting and exchange and which was the Abode of Ba Mohamed Souiri which opened its doors first in the whole City.
By his presence and his fantastic creations, Ba Mohamed Souiri had made this place our favorite of all places, where we could have our first lunch before the song of the minarets of the City and the Souk and Boucherit joined in one. tripartite choir to invite the common people to prayer while the whole City of Mazagan – El Jadida was still snoring its dreams in an indifferent tranquility. At that moment, the smell of donuts mixed with that of round bread began to be felt and the glowing lights of a few places defined the path in alleys absorbed by the darkness and the mysteries of nights wet with mists perfumed by the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its familiar maritime flavors.
In this magic place inhabited by legends and mysteries of the 7 Oceans and Seas, colossi and descendants of Ulysses and other great navigators gathered together who slipped through the meshes of uncertainty of the sea waves grade a by their own experience. Before facing the swell and the waves of the Atlantic, it is at Café Behara and through the sweets of Ba Souiri that the Raiss established their Headquarters, prepare and gather their supplies from the adjacent souk and their senses while discussing with their compasses the direction of their departure towards new horizons.
On their return, this place is also the meeting point to share the experience lived in front of this Ocean open to all the possibilities of omen, surprises and actions far from the eyes and the shores. This sacred place of meditation and meditation is none other than Kahwate Behara.
Abderrahman Oubi was Ouled Mellah and if you wanted to meet him you would just find him and not the first in Kahwate Behara, Moun, Port and on the beach next to the port wall.
On the municipal football field, he came to train with us at the Rachad Club of El Jadida and I teased him by calling him « Trésor de Jdida » in reference to the central back of OM Marseille during our time and also Oubi liked to play in central defense.
Oubi was very friends with Maalem Omari, Baya, Bhaibeh and Maalem Driss Ba Habra where he sat in front of his butcher’s shop in the Souk Lakdim.
Oubi and Maalem Driss, never two without three, both formed teams with Twelfth the other Maalem Guezzar, the famous bone breaker on the field and on his table in his butcher’s shop.
Twelfth was famous and the only one in the history of Mazagan football – jdidi who wore a taguiya in a football match. To avoid breaking a bone in the face of this tough and intractable defender, we always tried to knock his Taguiya down to the ground, whether on the Blaya or on the pitch. To tell the truth, Maalem Ba Driss Habra and Maalem Twelfth I knew them and attended them since school time and even Poly College.
Oubi and the two Maalem Driss and Twelfth therefore formed a team made up of grocers and Maline Hwanoutes and Bisseriyates, their neighbors who had to move their bones since they spent the day standing in their stores. So Oubi trained them and had Aerobics – Arabic Fa disciples were mostly Berbers – Soussis Sans Souci and this very early in the morning on the Blaya on the side of the port wall and that before the opening of the stores in the Souk Lakdim. These exercises ended with a football match between two teams, one from Boucherit and the other from Souk Lakdim.
Oubi used this part of the Blaya just next to the port wall and that out of respect for the women who also came early in the morning to exercise on the beach and wash the wool on the rocks, fish Bouzerough and Bou Camerones and other fish des Bechkirates next to the rocks of the old Casino.
Abderrahman Oubi at this time also retired from fishing and the world of fish in the port, he devoted himself to the organization of football matches on the other side of the ramparts of Fortaleza Mazagao, in La Blaya, and in the Municipal land sometimes with Dar Chabab.
A charming, tall man with a captivating and infectious smile and shining eyes of a handyman to survive in an environment of disdain and lack of opportunity for individuals like himself who were dedicated to creating cultural activities and social with the little he had and without asking for any direct reward.
Abderrahman Oubi in another time and another environment would have become a man of prestige of social volunteering and a man of bringing together the energies of youth.
In Mazagan, El Jadida existed a squadron of personalities who performed works of great importance for the balance of daily life. They operated as Mentors, Guardians of Children and Youth, Coaches, Monitors and Shields against Social Drift. All of their work was done under the radar with no fuss or havoc, just a persistence of dedication to the neighboring population, acquaintances and neighborhood of their birthplace neighborhoods.
In this homogeneous group, like his peers, Oubi was courteous, working in the shadows and silence without seeking reputation or advertising in order to be seen, valued or distinguished.
Oubi was a man distinguished by his seriousness, his respect for himself and what he did and his loyalty to his friends and acquaintances. He was also a pious man and respectful of the beliefs of others, one could find him with different categories of thought and social rank, Oubi Abderrahman was always Oubi the same everywhere and with everything,
It is Oubi, our Oubi to us who respected him and with us he felt the most at ease since he was a man of sharing and a being full of kindness for others and we gave him back this the same value that united us all in sport and other forms of expression of our local and regional culture in this city as if we were all members of the same urban and social fraternity.
Rahma wa Ghofra fi Firdousse Naim Ameen ya Rab Alameen wa li walidayna Ajmaeen.
Abderrahman Oubi Rahimahou Allah Ameen.
