## Early life

Hamer Bouazza[3][4][5][6] was born on 22 February 1985 in [Évry](/source/%C3%89vry%2C_Essonne), Essonne in France.[7] He grew up in Évry with his parents, two brothers and two sisters.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] In October 2005, speaking about his early life, Bouazza said: "Sometimes I didn't go to school because all that I wanted was to play football. It was football, football. I started playing at nine and when I was 15 I got a chance with [Auxerre](/source/AJ_Auxerre). It did not go well and after a year I returned to Évry."[8]

## Club career

### Watford

In 2003, at the age of 16, Bouazza moved to England having won a scholarship at [Watford](/source/Watford_F.C.) following a trial.[8]

He made his first team debut as an 88th-minute substitute on 7 February 2004 in a 2–2 with [Sunderland](/source/Sunderland_A.F.C.) at [Vicarage Road](/source/Vicarage_Road). A week later, he scored on his full debut, a 2–0 home win over [Preston North End](/source/Preston_North_End_F.C.).[9] He made a total of nine appearances in the [2003–04 season](/source/2003%E2%80%9304_in_English_football). The [following season](/source/2004%E2%80%9305_in_English_football), he made 28 league and eight cup appearances, scoring three goals. During the [2005–06 season](/source/2005%E2%80%9306_in_English_football), Bouazza was overshadowed by [Darius Henderson](/source/Darius_Henderson), [Marlon King](/source/Marlon_King), and [Ashley Young](/source/Ashley_Young) and missed a lengthy spell with a broken metatarsal but still tallied three goals in nineteen games, one of which was the fourth in Watford's 4–1 win over [Championship](/source/EFL_Championship) runners-up [Sheffield United](/source/Sheffield_United_F.C.).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

On 6 October 2005, Bouazza was loaned out to [League One](/source/EFL_League_One) club [Swindon Town](/source/Swindon_Town_F.C.), initially for one month,[10] but later extended to the end of the year.[11] He scored three goals in 15 games for Swindon.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

Bouazza broke his metatarsal during a Watford home game against [Derby County](/source/Derby_County_F.C.) on 4 March 2006, and had the bone pinned in an operation.[12] On 21 May 2006, he played in Watford's 3–0 win over [Leeds United](/source/Leeds_United_A.F.C.) in the [Championship play-off final](/source/2006_Football_League_Championship_play-off_final) at the [Millennium Stadium](/source/Millennium_Stadium), [Cardiff](/source/Cardiff), coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute.[13]

Throughout the [2006–07](/source/2006%E2%80%9307_in_English_football) season, with Watford in the [Premier League](/source/Premier_League), Bouazza started most league games, principally as a left-sided winger, scoring five goals and winning the club's "Young Player of the Season award".[14]

### Fulham

Bouazza playing for [Fulham](/source/Fulham_F.C.) in 2007

On 8 August 2007, Bouazza joined Premier League club [Fulham](/source/Fulham_F.C.) on a four-year contract for an initial fee of £3m (potentially rising to £4m, depending on appearances and Fulham's divisional status).[15] He his debut in a 2–1 defeat to [Arsenal](/source/Arsenal_F.C.) on 12 August. However, after just three appearances he dislocated his shoulder in a 2–1 defeat to [Middlesbrough](/source/Middlesbrough_F.C.) on 18 August.[16] He returned to the Fulham starting XI after a couple of weeks out, and scored his first Fulham goal with a close-range free kick against [Manchester City](/source/Manchester_City_F.C.) in a 3–3 draw at [Craven Cottage](/source/Craven_Cottage) on 22 September 2007.[17] He made 22 appearances for Fulham in the [2007–08 season](/source/2007%E2%80%9308_Fulham_F.C._season), scoring one goal.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

On 9 August 2008, he signed for Championship club [Charlton Athletic](/source/Charlton_Athletic_F.C.) on a [season-long](/source/2008%E2%80%9309_in_English_football) loan,[18] making his debut later that day as an 83rd-minute substitute in a 3–0 win over [Swansea City](/source/Swansea_City_A.F.C.) at [The Valley](/source/The_Valley_(London)). He scored his first goal for *the Addicks* on 23 August in a 4–2 home win over [Reading](/source/Reading_F.C.).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

On 8 January 2009, after a total of 27 appearances and four goals at Charlton, Fulham activated a recall clause in the loan agreement[19] and immediately loaned him to another Championship side, [Birmingham City](/source/Birmingham_City_F.C.), for the remainder of the season.[20] Bouazza made his Birmingham debut in their next league game, a 1–1 draw at home to [Cardiff City](/source/Cardiff_City_F.C.) on 17 January, and scored his first goal, a clever finish after a defensive error, in a 2–0 win over [Doncaster Rovers](/source/Doncaster_Rovers_F.C.) at the [Keepmoat Stadium](/source/Keepmoat_Stadium) on 14 March.[21] He made a total of 16 appearances for Birmingham, helping them win promotion to the Premier League as Championship runners-up.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### Sivasspor

On 18 August 2009 Bouazza signed for Turkish [Süper Lig](/source/S%C3%BCper_Lig) club [Sivasspor](/source/Sivasspor).[22] However, his stay in [Sivas](/source/Sivas) was short lived, lasting only five days. He played one game for the club, a 3–0 home defeat to [Shahktar Donetsk](/source/FC_Shakhtar_Donetsk) in the [Europa League](/source/UEFA_Europa_League) [play-off round](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_UEFA_Europa_League_qualifying_phase_and_play-off_round).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

On 23 August, he left Sivasspor, stating that he did not wish to remain in Turkey, and agreeing a mutual termination of his contract. Sivasspor head-coach [Bulent Uygun](/source/Bulent_Uygun) said they had to release Bouazza as they didn't want him to damage the morale of the team.[23][24][25][26]

### Blackpool

On 1 September 2009, Bouazza signed for Championship club [Blackpool](/source/Blackpool_F.C.) on a one-year contract with an option for a further year.[27] He made his debut on 12 September as a 73rd-minute substitute in a 2–1 defeat to [Leicester City](/source/Leicester_City_F.C.) at the [Walkers Stadium](/source/Walkers_Stadium). He made his full debut four days later in *the Seasiders*' 2–1 win over [Newcastle United](/source/Newcastle_United_F.C.) at [Bloomfield Road](/source/Bloomfield_Road). His first goal came on 26 September, in a 2–0 home win over [Peterborough United](/source/Peterborough_United_F.C.), when he [nutmegged](/source/Nutmeg_(football)) defender [Tom Williams](/source/Tom_Williams_(footballer%2C_born_1980)) before curling the ball into the net from a tight angle.[28][29]

In January 2010, Bouazza's goal against Peterborough was voted by Blackpool supporters the best goal of 2009, and so became the club's nominated goal for the Goal of the Year at the annual [Football League Awards](/source/Football_League_Awards) to be held on 14 March.[30] He missed the whole of January, while he was away in the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola. However, on his return to Blackpool in early February it was discovered that he had picked up an injury in the tournament, believed to be a [hernia](/source/Hernia).[31] His return to action came on 16 February as an 81st-minute substitute in the 2–0 home win over [Middlesbrough](/source/Middlesbrough_F.C.), when he set up [D. J. Campbell](/source/D._J._Campbell) to score Blackpool's second goal in injury time.[32] He was released at the end of the season.

### Millwall

On 28 January 2011, Bouazza was loaned out by [AC Arles-Avignon](/source/AC_Arles-Avignon) to [Millwall](/source/Millwall_F.C.) until the end of the season.[33] Bouazza made his debut for Millwall on 19 February. He came on as a substitute and scored a curling free-kick after being on the field for only 10 minutes, in a 3–2 home defeat to Middlesbrough. Millwall completed the permanent signing of Bouazza on 19 April on a two-year contract, for a fee believed to be in the region of €100,000.[34]

### AC Omonia

On 22 June 2012, Bouazza signed for [Cypriot First Division](/source/Cypriot_First_Division) club [AC Omonia](/source/AC_Omonia) on a one-year contract, despite having initially rejected a contract offer from the club.[35] However, he left the club in August, having only been in Cyprus for a few weeks.[36]

### Racing Santander

In September 2012, Bouazza moved to Spain, joining [Segunda División](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n) side [Racing Santander](/source/Racing_Santander).[37] In December, following a 1–0 defeat against [Sabadell](/source/CE_Sabadell_FC), Bouazza was chased by three masked men, leading to a confrontation outside of his home.[38] He left the club after his contract expired at the end of the season, and had a trial with Scottish team [Rangers](/source/Rangers_F.C.) in the summer of 2013.[39]

### Later career

In December 2013 he made his debut for Algerian side [ES Sétif](/source/ES_S%C3%A9tif) and made three further appearances before leaving to join [Championnat National](/source/Championnat_National) team [Red Star](/source/Red_Star_F.C.).[40] He appeared in 80 matches and scored 20 goals across three seasons, with the majority coming in [Ligue 2](/source/Ligue_2) following Red Star's promotion in Bouazza's debut season.[40] In January 2017, Bouazza joined [Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1](/source/Tunisian_Ligue_Professionnelle_1) side [Étoile du Sahel](/source/%C3%89toile_Sportive_du_Sahel).[41]

## International career

### Early career

Although born in France, Bouazza was approached by the [Algerian Football Federation](/source/Algerian_Football_Federation), to play at national level for them. Bouazza accepted, explaining later: "I grew up in Paris, yes, but I've always known my nationality. I am Algerian, just as my father and mother are. My grandmother lives just outside [Algiers](/source/Algiers), and I have many cousins there."[8]

Bouazza made his debut for [Algeria](/source/Algeria_national_football_team) against [Libya](/source/Libya_national_football_team) on 7 February 2007 and scored his first goal in a 3–2 victory over [Mali](/source/Mali_national_football_team) on 20 November 2007.

### 2010 World Cup and 2010 Africa Cup of Nations qualification

Bouazza played in Algeria's opening [second round qualification](/source/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CAF_second_round) game for the [2010 World Cup](/source/2010_FIFA_World_Cup), a 1–0 loss to [Senegal](/source/Senegal_national_football_team) on 31 May 2008 at the [Stade Leopold Senghor](/source/Stade_Leopold_Senghor), [Dakar](/source/Dakar), [Senegal](/source/Senegal), coming on as a second-half substitute.[42] However, he didn't make any further appearances as Algeria won group Six and progressed to the third round. He then played in the opening third-round game, an away 0–0 draw with [Rwanda](/source/Rwanda_national_football_team) on 28 March 2009, again as a substitute.[43] He continued to be used as a second-half substitute in Algeria's next three qualifying games, a 3–1 win over [Egypt](/source/Egypt_national_football_team) on 7 June,[44] a 2–0 away win over [Zambia](/source/Zambia_national_football_team) on 20 June[45] and a 1–0 home win over Zambia on 6 September, a result which booked Algeria a place at the [2010 Africa Cup of Nations](/source/2010_Africa_Cup_of_Nations).[46]

On 13 November, as the Algerian squad arrived in [Cairo](/source/Cairo) for their vital [World Cup qualifier](/source/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CAF_third_round#Tiebreaking_play-off) against Egypt the following day, their team bus was attacked by stone-throwers. Three players were injured by flying glass, although Bouazza himself was not.[47] Speaking later about the attack, Bouazza said: "I had a very bad feeling when we landed at the airport because there was no security. And when our coach was attacked on the road from the airport to the city, it was the most terrifying experience of my life. People threw rocks at us, and there was nobody to stop them. Some of the players were hit by flying glass and I only escaped because I was lying on the floor. That is no way to prepare for a World Cup match."[48]

### 2010 Africa Cup of Nations finals

In January 2010 Bouazza was in the [Algeria squad](/source/2010_Africa_Cup_of_Nations_squads#Algeria) at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in [Angola](/source/Angola), as they reached the semi-finals; finishing the tournament in 4th place.

He was a second-half substitute in Algeria's first two [Group A](/source/2010_Africa_Cup_of_Nations#Group_A) matches at the [Estádio 11 de Novembro](/source/Est%C3%A1dio_11_de_Novembro) in [Luanda](/source/Luanda), a 0–3 defeat to [Malawi](/source/Malawi_national_football_team) on 11 January, and a 1–0 victory over [Mali](/source/Mali_national_football_team), three days later. His first start in the tournament came in Algeria's final group game, a 0–0 draw with [Angola](/source/Angola_national_football_team) on 18 January at the same venue; a result which saw Algeria qualify for the quarter-finals.[49]

On 24 January Bouazza scored the winning goal against [Ivory Coast](/source/Ivory_Coast_national_football_team), to ensure Algeria qualified for the semi-finals. Just two minutes after coming on as a substitute at the start of extra time, with the scores level at 2–2, Bouazza's headed goal gave Algeria the lead and with it a 3–2 victory.[50] Four days later he was an unused substitute as Algeria lost their semi-final 0–4 to North African rivals Egypt, but started the 3rd place play-off on 30 January, which they lost 0–1 to [Nigeria](/source/Nigeria_national_football_team) at the [Ombaka National Stadium](/source/Ombaka_National_Stadium) in [Benguela](/source/Benguela).[51] He made a total of five appearances in the tournament in Angola, three of them as a substitute.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

## Personal life

Bouazza is a practising [Muslim](/source/Muslim).[52] He observes [ramadan](/source/Ramadan) each year, [fasting](/source/Sawm) during daylight hours for a month.[8] He has admitted fasting can be hard, but said it was part of his faith. "I'm proud to be a Muslim. I'm not going to say (combining fasting and football) is easy. Ramadan is hard, and I try to do my best every time. You know God is there to help us, we believe in Him. We just need to pray and believe in Him."[53]
