Yacine Qasmi (Arabic: ياسين قاسمي; born 3 January 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker. Born in France, he represented Morocco at youth international level.

After one substitute appearance for Paris Saint-Germain, he spent most of his career in Spain, primarily in Segunda División B. From 2019, he made over 140 Segunda División appearances for Elche, Rayo Vallecano, Leganés and Eibar, playing one La Liga game for the second of those clubs.

Early life

[edit]

Qasmi was born in Pontoise, France, to Moroccan parents. He acquired French nationality on 24 March 1993, through the collective effect of his parents' naturalization.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Qasmi joined Paris Saint-Germain's youth setup in 1999, from Cosmo de Taverny. After appearing as a senior with the reserves, he made his professional debut on 15 December 2010, coming on as a second-half substitute for Mathieu Bodmer in a 1–1 UEFA Europa League away draw against FC Karpaty Lviv.[3]

On 6 July 2011, Qasmi signed a one-year deal with another reserve team, Rennes II.[4] In the 2012 summer, he went on a trial at S.L. Benfica, initially appearing for the B-team.[5]

Segunda División B

[edit]

Qasmi signed a 1+2 contract with Getafe CF in August 2012, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[6] He remained for six more years in Spain's third tier, representing Sporting de Gijón B,[7] Sestao River Club,[8] SD Compostela,[9] CD Alcoyano,[10] Mérida AD[11] and UD Melilla.[12]

Segunda División

[edit]

On 6 February 2019, Qasmi signed for Elche CF in Segunda División, as the club paid his 300,000 release clause.[13] He made his professional league debut three days later in a 2–1 home loss to Real Oviedo, as a 78th-minute substitute for Benjamín Martínez;[14] on 24 February he scored his first goal in such a competition, in a 2–2 draw at CD Lugo.[15]

On 31 January 2020, Qasmi agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract with Rayo Vallecano still in the second division.[16] Aged 30 on 22 August the following year, he made his La Liga bow at the end of a 1–0 loss at Real Sociedad.[17]

On 28 January 2022, after just one league appearance during the campaign, Qasmi terminated his contract with Rayo,[18] and agreed to a 18-month deal with second division side CD Leganés the following day.[19] On 12 September 2023, he moved to SD Eibar on a one-year contract.[20]

International career

[edit]

Qasmi appeared for Morocco under-20 team in a friendly match against Burkina Faso in July 2010.[21]
