First transfer three months after the final test. The U20 player from Morondava, Nicolas Ratiandrainy, spotted during the national detection project initiated by the LNR Sport Management agency, is at the Moroccan club RS Berkane. This project was carried out under the aegis of the Ministry of Youth and Sports as well as the Malagasy Football Federation. He has already been on Moroccan soil since March 31 for a three-month trial period before confirming and landing his first professional contract.
This Moroccan club has won the CAF Cup and the African Club Cup twice in a row in 2020 and 2022. RS Berkane is today considered one of the great clubs on the African continent. Additionally, Morocco was a semi-finalist in the last World Cup and the highest ranked nation in the world. Five players were selected following the final detection test at the beginning of December in Mahamasina. Two of them are continuing training within Jet Kintana and two others have left the project.
One plays in Mauritius and the other at Dato FC, a Pro League club. Four recruiters, namely Helmin Lousaief of the African club in Tunisia, Wassim Gharmoul of the White Caps of Major League Soccer, Abdenord Belkaci of Lille OSC in Ligue 1 and Demba M’Baye, sports director of RS Berkane, led the final test of sixty retained after five months of detection in eight regions of the island.
