Mathieu Cafaro (born 25 March 1997) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Saint-Étienne.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Toulouse

[edit]

Cafaro is a youth product of Toulouse. He made his Ligue 1 debut on 10 September 2015 against Bastia.[2] On 3 April 2017, he was released from the club, along with Odsonne Édouard, due to inappropriate behavior outside the club involving the shooting of a passer-by with an airsoft gun.[3] Cafaro later admitted that he was the one who shot the gun.[4] On 13 June, the Toulouse Prosecutor requested a four-month suspended prison sentence and a €6,000 fine for Édouard's involvement. Édouard claimed that Cafaro was the shooter while Cafaro stated he was not in the car at the time of the incident.[5]

Reims

[edit]

Cafaro helped Reims win the 2017–18 Ligue 2, which earned them promotion to the Ligue 1 for the 2018–19 season.[6] He participated in one league match during the campaign, a 3–1 win over Niort on 27 April 2018.[1] Cafaro would go on to score twelve goals in eighty-two Ligue 1 matches for Reims before leaving the club in January 2022.[1]

Standard Liège

[edit]

On 11 January 2022, Cafaro signed for Belgian club Standard Liège.[7] The deal reportedly involved no transfer fee, although Reims were given a "considerable" sell-on percentage fee.[8]

Saint-Étienne

[edit]

On 20 July 2022, Cafaro joined Ligue 2 club Saint-Étienne on a season-long loan with an option-to-buy.[9] He eventually joined the club permanently in June 2023.[10]

Personal life

[edit]

Cafaro is of Italian descent through his paternal grandfather.[11]
