Chouaib Bellaarouch, a 23-year-old Moroccan goalkeeper, has joined Ligue 1 club Stade de Reims, as confirmed by the club on August 23, 2026. The transfer was finalized from RC Strasbourg, where Bellaarouch had been under contract since 2021.
Bellaarouch, who has represented Morocco at the U23 level, is expected to provide competition for Reims' starting goalkeeper. The club did not disclose the transfer fee or the length of the contract, but reports suggest a multi-year deal.
Reims, who finished mid-table in the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season, are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign. Bellaarouch's arrival adds depth to their goalkeeping department.
The move marks a new chapter for the young shot-stopper, who made several appearances for Strasbourg's first team and was part of their squad that won the Coupe de France in 2025.
