Adam Masina (Arabic: أدم ماسينا; born 2 January 1994) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Italian Serie A club Torino, and the Morocco national team.

Coming through Bologna's youth academy, Masina made his senior appearance with the club in 2012, and transferred to Watford in 2018. He was also loaned to Giacomense twice.

Masina was born in Morocco but moved to Italy at a young age. He initially represented Italy at an international level of under-21, before switching to play for the Morocco national team in 2021.

Club career[edit]

Masina was born in Khouribga, Morocco, but lost his mother as just an infant. He successively moved to Italy together with his brother and father, settling down in Emilia-Romagna, and was later assigned to a number of foster families due to his father's problems with alcoholism. He was eventually adopted by one of them, from which he took his last name.[3]

After a successful loan in Giacomense, Masina returned to Bologna in 2013 and made his senior debut for the Rossoblu in a 2–1 away victory over Latina on 12 October 2014.[4] He helped the club obtain Serie A promotion, later debuting in the top division, and scoring his first goal in Serie A in an injury time victory at Carpi.[5]

On 2 July 2018, Masina signed for English club Watford on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[6]

On 18 July 2022, Masina signed a three-year contract with Italian club Udinese.[7] On 1 February 2024, he moved on loan to Torino, with an option to buy.[8]

On 14 June 2024, Torino announced that they had activated their option to buy, Masina signing a two-year contract.[9]

International career[edit]

In November 2015, Luigi Di Biagio called Masina to represent Italy U21 team after obtaining FIFA transfer.[10] He debuted with the Italy U21 side on 17 November 2015, in a Euro 2017 qualification match against Lithuania.[5]

In March 2021, Masina was called up to represent MoroccoinAfrican Cup of Nations qualifier matches against Mauritania and Burundi,[11] debuting on 26 March 2021 against the former.[12]

Style of play[edit]

Masina is known in particular for his technique, physicality and energy as a left-back.[5]
