Mohamed Fares was born on February 15, 1996 in Aubervilliers in France. He began playing football in the youth teams of Bordeaux but soon moved to Italy where, after spending 2012-13 with Vicenza, he signed for Verona. He debuted in the first team on December 14 2014 in the Serie A match against Udinese. That year he made two appearances and continued to play for the Primavera. He stayed until 2018 with Verona making 64 appearances with one goal.
In 2018 he signed for Spal in Serie A. He played left back with Manuel Lazzari right back and the duo were among the best in Serie A. Lazzari joined Lazio in 2019, Fares stayed in Ferrara but played very little due to a serious injury. Despite this, Simone Inzaghi chose him to take Senad Lulic' place at Lazio and in 2020 he left for Rome.
Unfortunately, he was not the same as before the injury. He made 29 appearances without leaving much of a trace. What followed were a number of years on loan: six months at Genoa, then a move to Torino in January 2022 where he immediately had another injury which kept him out for a while. Back at Lazio, in 2022-23 he never played and in September he was loaned to Brescia in Serie B where he made 16 appearances. He is currently on loan to Panserraïkos in the Greek first tier.
He has 12 caps with Algeria and participated in the Africa Cup of Nations of 2019 where he played two games. Algeria then went on to win the tournament beating Senegal in the final 1-0.
