Yasmine Abderrahim (; born April 16, 1999, in Béjaïa) is an Algerian volleyball athlete who represents the Algerian national squad as an outside hitter. She is currently a member of Olympiacos Piraeus.
Career
Abderrahim launched her professional journey in 2016 at the age of 17 with the Algerian club ASW Bejaia, where she earned a silver medal in the 2018 Algerian Cup. Subsequently, she spent six years competing in France, splitting her tenure evenly between Istres Provence and Pays d'Aix Venelles, each for three seasons. During the 2018–19 campaign, she participated in the French Elite league (the second tier), reaching the final of the French Amateur Cup and achieving promotion to Ligue A. The following season (2019–20) was canceled due to the COVID-19 crisis. In 2020–21, she played a key role in guiding Pays d'Aix Venelles to the French Cup final, where they were runners-up to ASPTT Mulhouse. From 2022 through 2024, she continued her Ligue A presence with Pays d'Aix Venelles.
In the summer of 2024, Abderrahim signed with Greek elite club Olympiacos. During the 2024–25 season with Olympiacos, she contributed to winning the Greek treble: capturing the Hellenic Super Cup, Hellenic Cup, and Hellenic Championship titles.
International career
Since 2013, Yasmine Abderrahim has been involved with Algeria’s national development teams, achieving early distinctions including a Bronze medal at the 2014 Girls' U-18 Africa Championship and Silver medals at both the 2013 and 2015 Women's U-20 Africa Championships.
Abderrahim debuted for the senior Algeria women's national team in the 2014 World Grand Prix. Although Algeria lost all six matches that year, they secured their initial victories in the following year's World Grand Prix by defeating Australia twice. She also took part in the qualification rounds for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, where Algeria placed fourth and narrowly missed qualifying.
Her first gold medal at senior level was attained at the 2023 Pan Arab Games volleyball competition, where Algeria triumphed over Tunisia with a straight-set 3-0 victory in the final.
