This is a spectacular leap for this amateur player. Midfielder Parfait Faton has been called up by Benin's technical staff for the 2027 CAN qualifiers.
He currently plays for AAS Sarcelles' U17 team in the Paris region. At just 16, he is set to discover top-level international football.
His call-up is a surprise. It shows the Guépards' desire to rejuvenate the squad and invest in diaspora talent.
