West Ham United Academy midfielder Gabriel Caliste has received his third senior call-up to the Mauritius national team for their upcoming participation in the COSAFA Cup.
Hosted in Mangaung (Bloemfontein), South Africa, the annual tournament for Southern African nations will run from 4 to 15 June.
The call-up follows a season in which Caliste signed his first professional contract with the Hammers and helped his U18s side win the Premier League Cup, scoring in the quarter-final against defending champions Manchester United and featuring in the 2-1 final win over Reading.
The 18-year-old made his senior international debut in September, featuring in friendlies against India and Syria in Hyderabad, before earning another cap during the November international break away to Hong Kong. A torn hamstring ruled him out of March's FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where Mauritius drew 3-3 with Eswatini before suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Cape Verde.
Speaking to the Mauritius Football Association following his call-up, Caliste said: “It’s been a really good season with the U18s. I’ve trained with the first team, a really good experience, we won the Premier League Cup, a big achievement for us.
“I got injured earlier in the season unfortunately so missed the World Cup qualifiers with a torn hamstring. I’ve been working in the gym to get back and I'm really excited to compete with the team in the COSAFA Cup.”
