Mokrane Bentoumi (born 18 June 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Championnat National club Aubagne Air Bel on loan from Le Havre.[1]
Club career
[edit | edit source]Born in Rouen,[2] Mokrane Bentoumi first played football in Petit-Couronne, before spending time at FC Rouen.[3]
He joined the Le Havre academy in 2018,[4] becoming a regular with the under-19s by the 2021–22 season, during which he was part of the team that beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe Gambardella.[5][6][7]
The following season, whilst still impressing with the under-19,[8][9] Bentoumi became a regular with Le Havre reserve team, scoring his first goal in March 2023, during a 1–0 National 3 win against the Mont-Gaillard team.[10]
He made his professional debut for Le Havre on the 15 May 2023, replacing Josué Casimir at the 80th minute of a 1–0 Ligue 2 away loss to FC Annecy. In a team still trying to consolidate its status as league leader, the young playmaker made a strong impression, even coming close to delivering a decisive assist to Yann Kitala.[2][3][11]
On 14 August 2024, Bentoumi was loaned by Villefranche in Championnat National.[12] On 13 August 2025, Bentoumi returned to the third tier, joining Aubagne Air Bel on loan.[13]
International career
[edit | edit source]Mokrane Bentoumi holds French and Algerian nationalities.[14][15] He is a youth international for France, first receiving a call with the under-16 in May 2021 for two unofficial games.[16] He later became a full international with France under-18 by September 2022, being selected for the Tournoi de Limoges.[2][3][17]
Style of play
[edit | edit source]Bentoumi is described as a compact left-footed playmaker, technically gifted, good at eliminating defenders through dribbles or passes.[2][3]
His footballing profile and origins earned him compassions to Algerian legend Riyad Mahrez.[11]
