Football career

Naciri was born in Diemen, North Holland. After unsuccessfully emerging through AFC Ajax's youth system, he played for Telstar and HFC Haarlem in the Dutch second division, with a spell in Spain in between with lowly CD Lugo.

In 2000, Naciri moved to Portugal, starting with third level's C.F. União. His solid performances attracted the attention of Rio Ave F.C. in the Primeira Liga, where he would be regularly used during two seasons (34 starts), with the Vila do Conde club always retaining its status.

After one year with Moreirense FC (division two), Naciri moved to Cyprus and spent two campaigns in the First Division with Enosis Neon Paralimni FC, after which he returned to Portugal at the age of 35, with União Desportiva Lavrense in the second regional league of Porto.
