El Fakiri began with the Oslo club Lyn, making his debut against Skeid on 28 May 1995; the Lyn supporters made him their player of the year in 1997. He joined Brann in 2000, and before he had played a league game for them he was sold to Monaco, whose scouts had spotted him; the English article records nine league games and three goals for Brann in that first spell. At Monaco he was loaned back to Lyn and to Rosenborg before Didier Deschamps settled him at right back; he was an unused substitute in the 2004 Champions League final, and he won the Coupe de la Ligue with Monaco in 2002–03. ^{1 2 3 4}

In 2005 he moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach on a free transfer and helped them to tenth place in his first season, but the club was relegated the next year and he returned to Brann after seven years away. His return brought Brann their first Norwegian championship in 44 years in 2007, and he played on there until retiring in 2014. He won eight caps for Norway between 2004 and 2006. In coaching he managed Os from 2015 to 2017, worked as assistant manager at Saint-Étienne from 2024 to 2026, and then became Brann's player development coach. ^{1 2 3 4}

None of the English, Arabic or Urdu articles says anything about El Fakiri's religion: there is no religion field in any infobox, no statement in any text, and Wikidata carries no religion value for him. The record is complete absence. He is not the sixteenth-century Ottoman writer of a similar name filed in this museum as Fakiri. ^{1 2 3 4}
