Moctar Sidi El Hacen El Ide (born 31 December 1997), commonly known as Hacen, is a Mauritanian international footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Valladolid B as a central midfielder.

Club career

Born in Arafat in the outskirts of Nouakchott, Hacen started off at local ASAC Concorde and nearly moved to Valencia CF in August 2014 after impressing in the year's L'Alcúdia International Football Tournament,[1] but chose to join Levante UD instead. However, he was unable to play any official matches until his 18th birthday.[2]

Assigned to the club's Juvenil squad, Hacen made his debut with the reserves on 14 January 2016, coming on as a first half substitute in a 1–3 Segunda División B away loss against CD Llosetense.[3] He was definitely promoted to the B-side ahead of the 2016–17 campaign, and scored his first senior goal on 6 November to open a 2–0 home win over UE Llagostera.[4]

Hacen made his first team debut on 28 November 2017, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Girona FC, for the season's Copa del Rey.[5] His La Liga debut occurred three days later, replacing Samu García in a 0–0 away draw against Málaga CF.[6]

On 24 July 2018, Hacen signed a two-year deal with another reserve team, Real Valladolid B also in the third division.[7]

International career

Hacen started very early with his international career, having played seven games with the senior national team before the age of 16; his first being on 2 March 2013 by starting in a 0–0 away friendly draw against the Gambia.[8]
