Mattéo Ahlinvi

Mattéo Ahlinvi was born in France and plays for Benin. He made his senior debut for the Benin national side on 11 October 2020, in a friendly against Gabon. Before that he had won one cap for France at under-19 level. He missed the 2017 Jeux de la Francophonie with France because he was not released for the tournament. He has since won 28 caps for Benin. His call-ups have covered Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup qualifiers.

In 2018–19 that side won the Championnat National 3, and he played five league games in the campaign.

Nîmes took him in 2019. He made his senior debut that year and signed his first professional contract in June 2020, while still playing for the club's second team. When his deal expired in 2021 he moved to Dijon on a free transfer and stayed two years.

From then on he moved abroad. Čukarički in Serbia paid an undisclosed fee for him in July 2023. Seven months later he left by mutual consent and joined Västerås in Sweden without a fee. In February 2025 he signed for Arsenal Tula as a free agent and stayed until July 2026.

He then moved to Farul Constanța , again on a free transfer. In the 2026/27 season he has scored three goals and set up one more in ten matches.
