Mamour Sené, news in Diario AS.

Mamour Sené, the Senegalese goalkeeper born in 2005, is one of the stars of the refugee team that will play in the Immigration World Cup, a competition supported by the Sevilla FC Foundation. The club itself offered him the opportunity to train alongside the Sevilla FC D team, although he cannot compete due to issues related to the player’s registration.

Sené arrived in Spain from his hometown, Bargny, with nothing but a pair of goalkeeper gloves. After a dangerous five-day journey on a raft from Morocco to Cádiz, he made it to Spain.

Thanks to the collaboration between the Spanish Commission for Refugee Aid (CEAR) and the Sevilla FC Foundation, Mamour has found a new opportunity in Spain. He had already stood out in the youth league with the Su Eminencia team, where the Senegalese goalkeeper delivered an outstanding performance, conceding only five goals in 22 matches.

Mamour Sené states that his dream is to play in La Liga.
