Lille officially announced on Saturday, November 7, that Moroccan international striker Hamza Igamane has extended his contract with the club until 2031.
“Mutual trust in the future” was the headline the northern French club chose for Saturday’s announcement, confirming that Igamane, who has earned 10 caps and scored two goals for Morocco, will remain at Lille until 2031.
The announcement comes at a particular moment, with the club reaffirming its confidence in the player and its commitment to supporting his gradual return to competition. The former AS FAR striker has been sidelined since suffering a serious knee injury during the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. He is now entering the final stage of his rehabilitation.
“The Club is determined to support its striker as he works his way back to competition, so that he can resume the upward trajectory he had been on,” Lille said in a statement.
Igamane also expressed his happiness following the announcement:
“I am very happy to extend my contract and to see that LOSC trusts me. I would like to thank the President, the staff and my teammates. I will come back better than before on the pitch, with the aim of scoring many goals and helping my team. I would also like to say a big thank you to our supporters, who have always been there for me, through their messages and whenever I run into them in the street. Their support has helped me a lot and I realized how much they care about me. Now I want to give something back to them on the pitch.”

Igamane joined Lille in the summer of 2025 from Glasgow Rangers, where he made 49 appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists during the 2024-2025 season.
Just hours after signing for the French club, the Moroccan international made an immediate impact, scoring twice in a single half against Lorient in a 7-1 victory on August 30, 2025.
He quickly confirmed his talent in a Lille shirt, scoring five goals in 13 Ligue 1 appearances, in addition to four goals in five Europa League matches.
