Matéo Degrumelle (born 22 August 2003) is a Tahitian association footballer who currently plays for Ligue 1 club Le Havre AC, and the Tahiti national team.

Club career

Degrumelle began playing football at age five. He joined AS Canton d'Argueil at the under-12 level before joining FUSC Bois-Guillaume. After two years with the club, he moved to US Quevilly-Rouen Métropole for another two years. As a youth he also had trials at Reims and Valenciennes.[1]

In 2018, Degrumelle tallied two goals and an assist in a training match against Amiens while playing for Quevilly-Rouen. He impressed Amiens coach John Devignon and joined the club shortly thereafter.[2] Degrumelle's contract with the club expired following the 2022–23 Ligue 2 season. In August 2023, he returned to his native Normandy by signing a one-year contract with Le Havre AC of Ligue 1.[3]

International career

Degrumelle is eligible to represent French Polynesia because his mother is from Raiatea. He was first contacted for a call-up to the Tahiti national team in 2022 while with Amiens, but the club would not release him.[4] He was then called up again in November 2023 for 2023 Pacific Games. After making his debut on 21 November 2023 against Fiji, he scored his first international goal three days later in a 5–0 victory over the Northern Mariana Islands.[5][6]
