After a stellar season with Polish club Legia Warsaw, the Le Mans native was touted as the standout inclusion for the upcoming international break dedicated to the World Cup 2026 qualifiers.

An unjust omission, even though the former Uganda coach still prefers to rely on the indomitable Chancel Mbemba, despite his lack of playtime with Olympique de Marseille.

It goes without saying that Sébastien Desabre played the stability card by retaining the same defensive lineup, especially considering the significant challenge of securing a spot at the 2026 World Cup.

Steve Kapuadi's season in numbers

In 31 matches played this season, the former KAA Gent player scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists.

His market value is estimated at 2.5 million euros on the Transfermarkt website.
