Career
FAR Rabat
Askri became an internet sensation at the 2010 Moroccan Throne Cup match against MAS Fez.[1] He blocked a penalty shootout but failed to grab the ball and instead went to celebrate his save. Meanwhile, the ball spun into the goal and Rabat lost the penalty shootout with a score of 7-6.[2]
Raja Casablanca
Askri contributed to Casablanca's win against Clube Atlético Mineiro by preventing two goals[3] from Fernandinho and Jô.[4] Casablanca's win brought them to the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup finals against FC Bayern Munich.[5]
