Ajax. On 4 February 2018, he made his
Eredivisie debut, coming off the bench to substitute
David Neres, in a 3–1 victory over
NAC Breda. In the following season, on 2 October 2018, he scored his first
Champions League goal in a 1–1 away draw against
Bayern Munich, followed by the only goal in the 92nd minute of stoppage time in a 1–0 victory over
Benfica on 23 October. On 16 December 2018, he netted his first Eredivisie goal in an 8–0 thrashing of
De Graafschap. During his breakthrough season, he was named
Ajax Talent of the Year, in which he won the domestic double with the club, played in the Champions League semi-finals, and scored four goals in a total of 48 matches. On 25 October 2020, Mazraoui scored his third
Champions League goal in a 3–1 victory against
Midtjylland, in which Ajax eventually managed to win another domestic double in the 2020–21 season. In January 2023, he had an inflammation in his
pericardium after suffering from
COVID-19, which would rule him out for six to eight weeks. On 13 May 2023, Mazraoui scored his first goal for the club in a 6–0 home win against
Schalke 04 at the
Allianz Arena. In October 2023, during the
Gaza war, Mazraoui shared a
Pro-Palestinian video via Instagram wishing "victory to our oppressed brothers in
Palestine", which was met with criticism from German
Bundestag member
Johannes Steiniger who demanded his extradition from the country. Furthermore, after backlash within the Bundesliga and Germany MPs, Mazraoui then emphasised that he was against all types of terrorism, hatred and violence. A few days after Mazraoui's public apology, as well as a personal conversation of him with the club management; Bayern Munich announced that there would be no consequences. Following a Champions League match against
Galatasaray in Istanbul, the club officials held talks with both Mazraoui and his Bayern Munich Israeli teammate
Daniel Peretz; in addition, the former expressed willingness to meet members of
Makkabi Deutschland. A week later, Mazraoui met with representatives of the Jewish Community of Munich and Upper Bavaria, including their President
Charlotte Knobloch.

Premier League club
Manchester United on a four-year deal. On 16 August, he made his debut in the Premier League and for United in a 1–0 win against
Fulham in the league. In October that year, he underwent a minor procedure after experiencing heart
palpitations. Mazraoui caused some controversy when he refused to wear a rainbow jacket in support of the LGBTQ+ community, citing religious reasons. This caused the club to abandon their plans to wear the jacket. == Personal life ==
