Club career

Bouazzi first began his footballing career with hometown club AS Kasserine. After spending two years with Kasserine, he made his big move to Tunis-based club Espérance in July 2006. It was here that the winger became regular for the team, helping the club to a runners-up position at the 2010 and 2012 editions of the CAF Champions League and actually winning the competition in 2011. Following this triumph, Bouazzi would also go on to feature at the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup as his team was only able to manage a sixth place finish. During his time with Espérance, in domestic play the club won four league titles and three Tunisian Cups.

In the summer of 2013 Bouazzi joined FC Lausanne-Sport, his first club abroad, and competed in the Swiss Super League after signing a two-year contract.[1] However, his stay at the club was extremely brief as after three games into the season the player broke his contract with club and left by mutual consent.[2]

International career

Bouazzi is a Tunisian international and has so far earned one cap for the national team. He made his debut in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde on 9 June 2012 with the team claiming a 2-1 away win.[3]
