Bilal Boutobba (born 29 August 1998) is an Algerian French footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Marseille and the France national under-17 football team.

Club career

Born in Marseille and a youth product of Olympique de Marseille, Boutobba made his league debut on 14 December 2014 in a 1–0 away defeat against AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II, replacing Mario Lemina for the last six minutes of the game.[1] In doing so, he became the youngest ever player to play an official match for Marseille, at the age of 16 years, 3 months and 15 days. The record was previously held by his teammate Jérémie Porsan-Clemente, who was aged 16 years and 8 months on his debut earlier in the season.[2]

International career

Boutobba made his debut for France under-17 on 25 October 2014 in a European qualifier at Pafiako Stadium in Paphos, Cyprus, playing the entirety of a 3–0 win over Macedonia.[3] In the opening match of the Elite Round on 20 March 2015, he netted the only goal in the first minute of the second half to defeat Israel.[4] He was part of the French squad which won the finals in Bulgaria, netting in a 5–0 win over Scotland in the first group game.[5]

Later in the year, he went with the team to the FIFA U-17 World Cup, forcing a James McGarry own goal and scoring in a 6–1 rout of New Zealand in the opening group game in Puerto Montt.[6] Three days later, with a third-minute goal, he opened a 4–3 win over Paraguay.[7] In the last 16, he scored in the penalty shootout as France were eliminated by Costa Rica after a goalless draw.[8]
