Akram Djahnit (; born 3 April 1991) is a professional Algerian football player who currently represents ES Sétif in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1.

ES Sétif

Originating from Sétif, Djahnit rose through the ranks of his local club ES Sétif's youth academy. In 2010, he played a significant role in the under-20 squad's triumph in the Algerian Junior Cup, securing victory via a penalty shootout against CR Belouizdad.[1] He made his professional debut on 18 June 2011, starting in a league fixture against AS Khroub.[2] One week later, Djahnit netted his inaugural goal for ES Sétif during a 3–1 defeat to CA Bordj Bou Arréridj.[3]

Al-Arabi SC

In July 2015, Djahnit agreed to a two-year deal with Kuwaiti side Al-Arabi.[4] He opened his scoring account for the club on 11 November 2015 in a league match that ended with a 1–0 victory over Al-Nasr. By January 2016, Djahnit and Al-Arabi mutually agreed to part ways, leading to his return to ES Sétif.[5]

ES Sétif

Following the termination of his contract with Al-Arabi, Djahnit rejoined his former team ES Sétif.

USM Alger

On 22 August 2022, Akram Djahnit, previously captain at ES Sétif, inked a two-year contract with USM Alger after his former agreement was annulled by the National Dispute Resolution Chamber. He achieved his first accolade with USM Alger on 3 June 2023 by winning the 2022–23 CAF Confederation Cup against Tanzania's Young Africans, making him the first Algerian footballer to secure all principal domestic and continental trophies. Despite being regarded as one of USM Alger’s primary signings during the summer of 2022, Djahnit struggled to reach the performance levels he exhibited at ES Sétif under coaches Boualem Charef and Abdelhak Benchikha.

Djahnit added another continental title on 15 September 2023 by capturing the CAF Super Cup after defeating Al Ahly, marking his second African championship within a three-month span.

On 28 January 2024, he scored his maiden goal for USM Alger in the Ligue 1 through a direct free kick against NC Magra. Later, on 8 March 2024, Djahnit achieved his first career hat-trick during an emphatic 8–0 win over MB Rouissat in the Algerian Cup. Although his performances have been inconsistent and attracted criticism from supporters, coach Juan Carlos Garrido continues to depend on him.

International career

Djahnit received a call-up from Azzedine Aït Djoudi on 23 September 2011 to join the Algerian Under-23 National Team for a fortnight-long training camp held at the facilities of the Algerian Football Federation in Sidi Moussa. He has earned one cap representing this team.
