John Glele has been called up to the Benin squad ahead of their game against Algeria.
His performances with APEP in the Cyprus First Division have earned him a chance to make his international debut. At the end of December, Benin Head Coach, Michel Dussuyer, travelled to Cyprus to watch Glele in APEP’s home win against AEK and he has now given him a chance to fight for a place in Benin’s World Cup 2010 squad. The qualifying campaign starts on 29 March 2009 away to Ghana but before that the team has one final rehearsal against Algeria on 11 February 2009.
John Glele started his career with Belfort and later had spells with Sochaux, Guingamp and Amiens going through the different youth age groups through to the Reserves and later with the first teams. In 2008 he signed for APEP playing in the Cyprus First Division.
