Clermont Foot Signs 16-Year-Old Striker Mohamed Amine Bouchenna to Historic Professional Contract
Thursday 17 November 2022, by
Mohamed Amine Bouchenna, of Moroccan origin, has just signed his first professional contract with the CF63 club until 2025. At just 16 years and 5 months, the striker is the youngest player to turn professional in the club’s history.
Originally from Beaumont sur Oise, the young striker began his football career at the US Méru football school and then at FC Chambly in the Hauts de France region. It was then in the Mediterranean League that he stood out at the Istres Rassuen club between 2016 and 2018.
Spotted for his potential, Mohamed Amine joined the Aix-en-Provence Elite Center in 2019 while being licensed with FC Istres, a club with which he stood out by becoming the top scorer in his U14 and U15 pools.
But it was this summer that the young prodigy chose to join the Clermont Foot 63 Training Center to continue his training. Remarkable performances with the U17 National, U19 National and National 3 teams allowed him to be noticed and to take his first steps in the French youth teams.
To date, Mohamed Amine has accumulated 13 caps and 7 goals with the French U16 team as well as 4 caps, 1 goal and 4 assists with the French U17 team. These performances have therefore attracted the attention of many professional clubs, but it is with CF63 that the young talent has chosen to continue his development.
For Mohamed Amine, this signing of a professional contract is an important step in his personal project. A dream come true for the young striker who is delighted to continue the adventure with his training club. He now hopes to get his first playing minutes and write his story within Clermont Foot 63, to repay the trust that has been placed in him.
