Camavinga enrolled at Harvard after missing out on France’s World Cup squad

Eduardo Camavinga was not included in France’s World Cup squad. However, when the French team arrived at their camp in Massachusetts, Camavinga was very close by—because he was studying a short course at Harvard University!

The midfielder played 49 minutes as a late substitute in the World Cup final, which France lost on penalties to Argentina. He made his 29th appearance for his country in a friendly in March. However, the 23-year-old has been left out of the starting line-up by coach Didier Deschamps after spending much of a lacklustre season on the bench for Real Madrid.

Kamavinga has used this vacation time to attend a course on recreation and sports at Harvard Business School. On Saturday, he posted a photo of Harvard on Instagram, writing, “A few days of learning, listening, and developing myself.”

Located in Cambridge, Boston, the university is just five miles from Bentley University, which is where the French team will be based during the World Cup. Camavinga is busy with his studies when the French team arrives. Their World Cup campaign will begin with a match against Senegal on June 16.
