Career
El Moutaraji started his career with Wydad AC at the age of 18 as a replacement for the injured Reda Hajhouj. He was linked with a move to Italy's Juventus as a junior, but the move never materialised.

On 30 May 2022, El Moutaraji scored a brace for Wydad in a 2–0 win over Al Ahly in the 2022 CAF Champions League Final, and won the man of the match award.

Zouhair El Moutaraji announced his departure from Wydad AC during the 2024 winter Mercato, after the two parties reached a final agreement to end the relationship between them.

Zouhair wrote a post on his official Instagram account “The end of one stage and the beginning of another. 14 years with the components of Wydad Casablanca, during which I graduated through many age categories until I reached the first team, and achieved, thanks to God and then the support of the public, a lot of success, Achievements and coronations".
