Career
He spent most of his professional career in the Netherlands and Portugal, amassing Eredivisie totals of 142 games and 29 goals over the course of eight seasons. Born in Fes, Sektioui played two seasons at French club AJ Auxerre, failing to establish with the main squad and also appearing sparingly for its reserves during his spell. He arrived at the Netherlands and Tilburg"s Willem II in January 2000, from Swiss club Neuchâtel Xamax, playing a major role with his team and eventually gaining club captaincy.
After an uneventful loan stint in 1999 with Christian Science Marítimo, in July 2006, Sektioui returned to Portugal, after Company Adriaanse (also his coach at Willem) signed him for Football Club.

On the fourth day of the group stage of the Union of European Football Associations Champions League he scored arguably the best goal of the night, overtaking five Olympique de Marseille defenders before hitting home beyond the goalkeeper. Eventually reached the round-of-16, ousted by Football Club Schalke 04 on penalties. On 2 July 2009, after having featured rarely for during the campaign – only 14 appearances combined – Sektioui moved to Ajman Club in the United Arab Emirates, on a one-year deal.
He retired after one season aged 33, but later went back on his decision and joined his very first professional club, hometown"s MAS Fez.
A Moroccan international since 2001, Sektioui represented his nation in the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring a penalty in the 5–1 rout of Namibia.
