Scouting Report & Player Insights

Mathieu Cafaro is a French wide attacker who spent years as a fixture for Reims and later Strasbourg before joining Paris FC as the club competes in Ligue 1. Comfortable across the right flank and in support of the striker, he likes to drive inside off his right foot, combine in tight areas, and pick out a shooting angle. He is a hard-working, technically tidy squad option rather than a headline creator, offering experience and versatility across multiple attacking midfield and wide roles.

Spent a large part of his career as a regular contributor for Stade de Reims in Ligue 1.

Also had a spell with RC Strasbourg before moving on in French football.
