Saliou Dia : cinq choses à savoir sur le «petit Marcelo» des Lionceaux

From his first dribbles on Belgian pitches to his selection for the Lionceaux U17, via his experiences with the youth teams of Anderlecht and Belgium, L'Observateur traces the career of the 15-year-old footballer who dreams of shining in the Lions A jersey. Excerpts.

1. Who is he?

Saliou Dia is a 15-year-old footballer who plays as a left-back for RSC Anderlecht. Nicknamed "Little Marcelo" for his striking style and technical prowess, he holds dual Senegalese and Belgian nationality.

2. Why is it in the news?

He has just been called up for the first time to the Senegalese national under-17 team, as part of a training camp for the next World Cup in the category.

3. His career

Born to a Belgian mother and a Senegalese father, Saliou Dia discovered football at the age of 4 in Belgium. He first played for Givry, then Standard de Liège, before joining the prestigious RSC Anderlecht youth academy. In 2024, he was selected for the Belgian U16 national team, a testament to his potential and rapid progression.

4. A choice motivated by its roots

Despite his debut in Belgian colors, Saliou has always been attached to Senegal, the country of his paternal origins. "I always dreamed of defending this jersey," he confides with emotion. A symbolic choice, which deeply touched his father, "filled with pride" at the announcement of his first call-up to the Lionceaux.

5. Its objective

Currently training with Senegal's U17 national team, Saliou Dia hopes to convince the coaching staff and make the final roster for the World Cup. Determined, he dreams of making his debut with the national team and helping his country shine on the international stage.
