Hamza Qudmani Signs with French Metz

Syrian young player Hamza Qudmani (16 years old) has signed his first professional contract in his career with French club Metz, extending until 2029, marking an important step for a promising talent in European football.

Meanwhile, the Syrian national team lost the opportunity to benefit from the player's services, as he represented the Luxembourg senior team during the recent international break, participating in two friendly matches against Italy and Albania. He is expected to continue with the national team in upcoming competitions.

According to observers of the Syrian talent file in Europe, Hamza's Syrian nationality was not visible on talent discovery platforms or official websites, making it difficult to reach him before he chose to represent Luxembourg. They also pointed out that discovering players of Syrian origin in Europe still faces significant challenges, especially with a large number of players holding other nationalities or whose Syrian roots are not reflected in databases.

Despite the loss of a talent like Hamza Qudmani, those interested in following Syrian talents affirm that the coming years may witness the emergence of more Syrian players in Europe. The collaboration of Syrian communities, coaches, and scouts in reporting these talents early on is crucial, as it will enhance their chances of joining the Syrian national team in the future.
