The ex-Morocco international, who retired from football in 2021 after
stints with Getafe, Marseille, and Al-Nasyr, was living in France when he
reportedly suffered a sudden heart attack.
Marseille paid tribute through their social media channels. They posted:
"Rest in peace, Abdelaziz. Olympique de Marseille is saddened to learn of
the passing of its former player and Moroccan international, Abdelaziz
Barrada."
The club added: "Having arrived in the summer of 2014, the
attacking midfielder wore OM's colors for two seasons. Olympique de Marseille
extends its sincere condolences to his family and loved ones."
His former club Getafe also expressed their shock and sorrow: "The
Getafe CF family is shocked by the death of Getafe player Abdel Barrada. The
footballer played 66 matches and scored 4 goals for Getafe in the 2011/12 and
2012/13 seasons. Our thoughts and support at this time go to Abdel's family and
friends. RIP."
