Saïd Boutahar (born 12 August 1982) is a Dutch footballer of Moroccan descent who is currently a free agent.

Club career

Boutahar is a midfielder who was born in Rotterdam and played alongside the likes of Robin van Persie and Mounir El Hamdaoui in the streets of the Kralingen neighborhood.[1] He made his debut in professional football, being part of the Feyenoord Rotterdam squad in the 2001–02 season. He also played for Excelsior Rotterdam, RKC Waalwijk, N.E.C. and Willem II.

He moved abroad to play for Spanish side Real Zaragoza in 2010 after he decided not to renew his contract with Willem II.[2] In 2014 he appeared to be one of 41 suspects to be involved in a 2011 match-fixing scandal around Zaragoza's win over Levante on the final day of the 2010/11 season which kept Zaragoza up.[3]

In 2011 he moved on to play in the Gulf and joined Al-Wakrah in Qatar.[4] He later played for Umm-Salal and Al-Shamal.
