Though initially hesitant due to his young age, Buifrahi's parents eventually agreed, allowing him to join Anderlecht's youth academy.
Despite labeling himself as a slow maturer, a factor that affected his tenure at Club Brugge, he displayed adeptness in scoring goals and providing assists during his youth career.
