Marc Lamti off to Africa Cup with Tunisia

A great honour for Marc Lamti. The 18-year-old Bayer 04 youth talent has been called up by the Tunisia Football Association (Fédération Tunisienne de Football) to the 23-man squad for the forthcoming Africa Cup (21 June to 19 July 2019). That was announced yesterday immediately after the 2-1 win a friendly against Croatia.

Tunisia’s national coach Alain Giresse called up the 1.96 metre tall Bayer 04 U19 central defender in a surprise move a couple of weeks ago and Lamti went on to make his full international debut against Iraq (2-0) last Friday. The youngster from the Rhineland has progressed through all the Bayer 04 junior teams but has never played for a Germany team.

Lamti, who trained with the first team under Peter Bosz, made a name for himself last season with impressive performances. The homegrown talent played the full 90 minutes in 24 of 26 games in the U19 Bundesliga (West) scoring two goals.

At the Africa Cup in Egypt, Tunisia face Angola (24 June, 19.00 CET), Mali (28 June, 16.30 CET) and Mauritania (2 July, 21.00 CET).
