Club career
[edit]Er-Rmichi's passion for football began at the age of six in her hometown of Khouribga. At the time, there was no women's team in her town and the sport was considered to be reserved for men. She travelled to Fquih Ben Salah to play with their local women's club.
In 2010, Er-Rmichi returned to Khouribga. She received an offer from Youssoufia Berrechid at the age of 17 to play with the first team. Her experience lasted four years (2007-2010) during which she won a championship and the Throne Cup.[2]
She then moved to CM Laâyoune for two seasons (2010-2012), winning two championships with the team.[2] After playing well with CM Laâyoune, she was scouted by AS FAR.
Er-Rmichi joined AS FAR in 2012. She has won the championship 11 times with the team, and the Throne Cup 11 times, and the UNAF Champions League 2 times, as well as the CAF Women's Champions League.

On 21 November 2024, Er-Rmichi was nominated for the 2024 Goalkeeper of the Year and 2024 African Player of the Year by CAF.
International career

She has played in their qualification efforts for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018,[4] as well as their second-place finish at the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations. She also played in qualification for the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games.[5]
