The situation of the young Tunisian player of French nationality, Mohamed Ben Faraj, was complicated in order to participate with the “Carthage Eagles” team in the championship world Cup FIFA Qatar 2022, after a strange decision taken by his French club, Auxerre.
Al-Araby Al-Jadeed obtained information confirming that Ben Faraj belongs to the expanded list of the Tunisian national team and is being followed up by the technical staff, who was waiting for the player to shine with Auxerre during the new season, after the club achieved a return to the French Premier League.
In a surprising move, the “Le Boy Foot 43” team, which competes in the French Amateur League, announced in an official statement on Saturday that it had signed Ben Faraj for one season on loan from Auxerre, which surprised the Tunisian striker with the decision to dispense with him in the new season. Although his contract was renewed until 2024.
It can be said that this station is a step back in the career of Ben Faraj, who previously played for the second team of Olympique Marseille before moving to Auxerre in 2020, and participated with the team in 8 matches last season, during which he scored one goal.
Ben Faraj previously strengthened the ranks of the Tunisian national team during a preparatory camp for the 2019 African Nations Cup, in addition to 3 matches with the Olympic “Carthage Eagles” team.
