Wassim Keddari Boulif (born 3 February 2005), commonly known as Simo, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Qatar Stars League club Al-Arabi SC.
Born in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Simo joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in 2016, from hometown side UFB Jàbac Terrassa.[2] On 3 July 2021, while still a youth, he signed a five-year contract with the club.[3]
Simo made his senior debut with the reserves on 12 December 2021, starting in a 4–1 Segunda División RFEF away routing of SD Ejea. He scored his first goal the following 5 February, netting a last-minute equalizer in a 3–3 draw at CF Badalona.[4]
Simo made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 4 September 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Keidi Bare in a 1–0 away success over Athletic Bilbao.[5] On 10 August of the following year, he was transferred to Qatar Stars League club Al-Arabi SC.[6]
