Ben-Chayeel Hamada, a promising young Comorian footballer, has marked a significant milestone in his burgeoning career by signing his first professional contract with Dijon FCO (DFCO). This follows a standout 2023/2024 season that saw him rise from the reserve ranks to earn a spot in the professional squad.
Hamada joined Dijon in August 2023 and quickly demonstrated his potential beyond just being a reserve player.
Over the season, he participated in 11 matches in the National league and 17 in National 3, consistently showcasing his talent and determination.
His impressive performances on the field did not go unnoticed, earning him recognition from coaches and peers alike and ultimately leading to his first professional contract, which extends until June 2026.
DFCO President Olivier Delcourt praised Hamada’s journey and his impact on the team. “He arrived at DFCO to play with the reserve team, then he knew how to seize his chance.
Today, he obtained his first professional contract, which he sought out himself on the field. I really like his freshness, his desire, his flavor.
May he maintain this state of mind throughout his career,” Delcourt commented, highlighting the midfielder’s drive and potential.
At 21, Hamada, who also plays for the Comorian U20 national team, remains grounded and focused on the challenges ahead. Reflecting on his journey, he expressed both pride and a clear vision for his future.
“I am very proud and very happy with my journey. This is a first objective achieved, but it is only the beginning.
I still have a lot to learn. When I arrived at DFCO, I made it clear directly that my goal was not to stay in N3.
I managed to seize my chance,” Hamada stated, underscoring his ambition and commitment to continuous improvement.
As Hamada embarks on this new chapter with Dijon FCO, his journey serves as an inspiration to many young athletes. His story is a testament to the power of dedication, hard work, and seizing opportunities.
With his professional contract now secured, the football world will be watching closely as Ben-Chayeel Hamada continues to develop and make his mark in the sport.
