Iyad Inomse M'Vourani Mohamed (born 5 March 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Portuguese Primeira Liga club Casa Pia. Born in France, he plays for the Comoros national team.
Early career
Mohamed was born in Dunkirk, France,[2] to a Dunkerquoise mother and a Comorian father.[3] He began playing football at the age of 8 with Fort-Mardyck OC before joining USL Dunkerque.[3] After a stint with LOSC Lille in the U13 and U14 teams, Mohamed returned to Dunkerque, where he continued his development.
In 2019, he joined AJ Auxerre after impressing during a match against Paris FC. Initially trained as a number 10 or wide midfielder, Mohamed was repositioned as a defensive midfielder due to his height and ability to dictate play.[3]
AJ Auxerre
Mohamed made his professional debut for AJ Auxerre on 6 November 2021, scoring his first goal during a 4-1 victory against Pau FC at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps.[4] His performances attracted attention, but contract renewal negotiations with Auxerre fell through in 2022.
SM Caen
On 24 June 2022, Mohamed signed a contract with Caen until 2025.[5] However, he found playing time limited, making only three appearances in Ligue 2. In January 2023, he was loaned to Le Mans in Championnat National, where he played 14 matches.[6]
Pau FC
In 2023, after returning from his loan, Mohamed signed with Pau FC.[3] He quickly established himself as a key player, becoming one of the revelations of the 2023–24 season.[7] Despite a knee injury that required surgery,[8] Mohamed returned to action in April 2024 and played a crucial role in securing Pau FC's defense.[9] In August 2024, Pau FC's coach, Nicolas Usaï, confirmed that Mohamed would be a key player for the 2024–25 season.[10]
Casa Pia
On 3 February 2025, Mohamed signed with Casa Pia in Portugal.[11]
International career
Despite being eligible to represent France, Mohamed chose to represent Comoros, reflecting his heritage.[3] He played for the Comoros U20 at the 2020 COSAFA U-20 Cup. He made his senior debut on 1 September 2021, in a 7-1 friendly win over Seychelles, which marked Comoros' largest victory to date.[12]
After recovering from his knee injury, Mohamed was recalled to the national team in September 2023, earning his 10th and 11th caps under new coach Stefano Cusin,[13] as Comoros prepared for crucial World Cup 2026 qualifying matches.[3]
On 11 December 2025, Mohamed was called up to the Comoros squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.[14]
