Club Career

Youth career

Aouachria was born on 12 March 2000 in Roubaix, France, to parents from Annaba, Algeria. He began playing youth football at local club Aubagne in 2006, aged six, before joining Marseille's under-14 team in 2013.

Charlton Athletic

On 16 January 2019, Aoucharia joined Charlton Athletic's Under-23 squad on a short-term contract from Marseille.

During a training session with the first team, Aoucharia suffered an ACL injury; he had scored five goals in nine starts for the U23 team prior to his injury. He remained on the sidelines for over one year.

Aouacharia made his professional debut for the senior team on 10 November 2020, scoring in a 3–1 win against Leyton Orient in the EFL Trophy.
