{mb_sdlf_jugador_SDLF-jugador_frase-destacada}

Rachid Ahmedoua, a 19-year-old winger, dreams of taking Mauritania to the World Cup and leaving his mark on European football.

Rachid Ahmedoua began his football journey by “playing on the streets of Mauritania,” where, from a young age, he showed his passion for the sport. Through a connection with his father, he had the opportunity to join the Marcet Academy in 2019, which marked a turning point in his career. “It was incredible, every season at Marcet,” says Rachid, who highlights how much he enjoyed the experience and improved his technical skills and competitive mentality.

After his time at Marcet, the young winger joined UE Cornellà, where he gained visibility in Catalan football. In 2022, his talent earned him a loan to Atlético Madrid’s youth divisions, an experience that, although brief, allowed him to compete at the highest level and further develop his abilities. After a year with the Madrid club, Rachid returned to Cornellà, demonstrating that he was ready to continue advancing his career.

Rachid remembers his training at Marcet Academy as “incredible.”

The opportunity to represent the Mauritanian national team came early for Ahmedoua, being called up for the U-17s. “They contacted my father and called me for the U-17s, the youngest of all. Then I moved up the categories until I reached the U-20s,” he explains. The international experience has allowed him to face different playing styles, enriching his football development.

Rachid describes himself as a “fast, technical player with good vision, a strong shot, and an eye for goal.” However, he is also aware that there are aspects he must continue to work on to reach the highest level. “There’s always room for improvement, and I’m no exception,” he says, maintaining a humble attitude focused on his continuous growth.

Looking to the future, Rachid has big aspirations. “Playing for a Champions League team and qualifying Mauritania for the World Cup for the first time in our history” describes his dreams. With much still ahead, Ahmedoua pursues his goal with determination, knowing that with effort and dedication, his path to success in football is just beginning.
