El Fardou Ben Mohamed, the key striker of the Comoros national team, makes a highly anticipated comeback in 2025 after a long absence due to injury. The captain of the Coelacanths, who plays for APOEL Nicosia at the club level, has been training intensively since the beginning of the year, preparing his return with strong leadership and determination.
His call-up for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, particularly the matches against Madagascar and Chad, sends a strong message from coach Stefano Cusin. Despite his lack of recent competition, Ben Mohamed remains an essential experienced player, fulfilling a crucial role in the attacking third, especially in the final 20 meters, contributing valuable goal-scoring ability.
At club level, Ben Mohamed recently scored his first goal of the season in the Super Liga, marking a positive resurgence after a period when he was sidelined. This accomplishment boosts his confidence and motivation, fueling his efforts to make a significant impact with the national team.
Beyond his technical skills, his return is seen as a new impetus for the Comorian squad, which relies heavily on his experience and exemplary attitude to carve a place in African football history. The 2025 season could indeed be the year of confirmation for this passionate player.
