Aziz was born on January 1, 2002, in Djougou, northern Benin. At 24, he is still working to establish himself in professional football after spells in France, Italy and the Czech Republic. Those moves have required him to adapt to new cultures, tactical systems and competitive demands.
Published player profiles list his clubs as Tchemabi FC and Soleil FC in Benin, Angers MFC in France, FK Kraluv Dvur in the Czech Republic, and Pro Cittiglio, Licata Calcio and ASD Juvenilia Roseto in Italy.
Aziz was part of Benin’s U23 squad in 2022 during qualifiers for the U23 Africa Cup of Nations, according to several African sports outlets. He has also been called up at U20 level.
In April, African sports media reported that Aziz had signed his first professional contract, in Argentina. Other outlets reported that he had been on trial with a second-division club there after a long spell out of the game.
Chacarita Juniors, a Buenos Aires club, plays in the Primera Nacional, Argentina’s second tier. Argentine football is known for its competitive culture and tactical intensity, and is regarded as a strong environment for developing players.
No agreement between Aziz and Chacarita Juniors has been officially announced. Any move would depend on discussions between the parties and the club’s sporting requirements. The Primera Nacional season ends this month, so any transfer would likely take effect next season.
At this stage of his career, playing time, the coaching philosophy and the club’s long-term plans are likely to matter as much as the destination itself.
A move to South America would require Aziz to adapt once again, to a different style of football, a new culture and a new league. Such a transition would bring challenges, but it could also give him a platform for growth.
Aziz’s story reflects the wider ambitions of Beninese footballers seeking opportunities abroad. For players from countries with growing football profiles, moving between leagues can open access to new experience, wider professional networks and different paths for development.
His next destination remains uncertain.
