Club career

Early career

Mohamed was born in Dunkirk, France, [2] to a Dunkerquoise mother and a Comorian father. [3] He began playing football at the age of 8 with Fort-Mardyck OC before joining USL Dunkerque. [3] After a stint with LOSC Lille in the U13 and U14 teams, Mohamed returned to Dunkerque, where he continued his development.

In 2019, he joined AJ Auxerre after impressing during a match against Paris FC. Initially trained as a number 10 or wide midfielder, Mohamed was repositioned as a defensive midfielder due to his height and ability to dictate play. [3]

AJ Auxerre

Mohamed made his professional debut for AJ Auxerre on 6 November 2021, scoring his first goal during a 4-1 victory against Pau FC at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps. [4] His performances attracted attention, but contract renewal negotiations with Auxerre fell through in 2022.

SM Caen

On 24 June 2022, Mohamed signed a contract with Caen until 2025. [5] However, he found playing time limited, making only three appearances in Ligue 2. In January 2023, he was loaned to Le Mans in Championnat National, where he played 14 matches. [6]

Pau FC

In 2023, after returning from his loan, Mohamed signed with Pau FC. [3] He quickly established himself as a key player, becoming one of the revelations of the 2023–24 season. [7] Despite a knee injury that required surgery, [8] Mohamed returned to action in April 2024 and played a crucial role in securing Pau FC's defense. [9] In August 2024, Pau FC's coach, Nicolas Usaï, confirmed that Mohamed would be a key player for the 2024–25 season. [10]

International career

Despite being eligible to represent France, Mohamed chose to represent Comoros, reflecting his heritage. [3] He played for the Comoros U20 at the 2020 COSAFA U-20 Cup. He made his senior debut on 1 September 2021, in a 7-1 friendly win over Seychelles, which marked Comoros' largest victory to date. [11]

After recovering from his knee injury, Mohamed was recalled to the national team in September 2023, earning his 10th and 11th caps under new coach Stefano Cusin, [12] as Comoros prepared for crucial World Cup 2026 qualifying matches. [3]

Pau Football Club, commonly referred to as Pau FC, is a professional football club based in Pau, capital of Béarn, France. Pau FC plays its home matches at the Nouste Camp and competes in Ligue 2, the second tier of French football. Nicknamed Les Maynats, Pau FC traces its origins to the patronage of the Bleuets de Notre-Dame, officially founded in 1920 in the Mayolis district. By the onset of the 1958–59 season, the Bleuets had ascended to the highest amateur division in the French football league system, prompting religious authorities to acknowledge its sporting prowess, surpassing that of a mere local football club. Under the stewardship of its founding president, José Bidegain, the Bleuets de Notre-Dame's senior team transitioned into the Football-Club de Pau. By the 60s, they had settled in the Stade du Hameau, harbouring ambitions of turning professional.
