Verts: Adil Bourabaa makes waves in France!

Sep 19, 2026

In just over a year, Adil Bourabaa has jumped from the N3 to Ligue 1, capturing attention with his performances at Le Mans. This rise is also beginning to attract interest from the Algerian national team.

Adil Bourabaa is experiencing a meteoric rise. Rejected by the Troyes reserve team just over a year ago, the Franco-Algerian attacking midfielder revived his career at Beauvais before signing with Le Mans. This season, he has already recorded 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 Ligue 1 matches, all played as a starter.

His time at Beauvais had already left a strong impression. Murtala Sacko, former assistant coach of the club, recalls his trial: “Within the first five minutes, all five members of the staff wondered: why did they let him go to Troyes?” A question that makes perfect sense considering his current momentum.

At just 21 years old, Bourabaa has climbed numerous levels in record time, moving from lower divisions to a starting position in Ligue 1. His performances with Le Mans are logically starting to attract increasing interest.

Brahim Hemdani did not include him in his first selection for the Algerian national team. However, according to rumors in recent weeks, the new coach is keeping a close eye on his progress. If he continues on this path, Bourabaa could quickly be on the verge of his first call-up with the Greens.
