Yacine Qasmi (Arabic: ياسين قاسمي; born 3 January 1991) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Rayo Vallecano as a striker.
Club career
Born in Pontoise, 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.[1]
On 6 July 2011, Qasmi signed a one-year deal with another reserve team, Rennes II.[2] In the 2012 summer, he went on a trial at S.L. Benfica, initially appearing for the B-team;[3] however, nothing came of it and he signed a 1+2 contract with Getafe CF, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[4]
Qasmi subsequently resumed his career in Spain and its third tier, representing Sporting de Gijón B,[5] Sestao River Club,[6] SD Compostela,[7] CD Alcoyano,[8] Mérida AD[9] and UD Melilla.[10]
On 6 February 2019, Qasmi signed for Elche CF in Segunda División, as the club paid his €300,000 release clause.[11] 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;[12] on 24 February he scored his first goal in such a competition, in a 2–2 draw at CD Lugo.[13]
On 31 January 2020, Qasmi agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract with Rayo Vallecano still in the second division.[14]
International career
Although born in France, Qasmi appeared for Morocco under-20 team in a friendly match against Burkina Faso in July 2010.[15]
