Camille Fernand Faroux (13 July 1887 – 30 July 1918) was a French footballer who played as a midfielder for Olympique de Pantin and the French national team in the early 1910s.

Career

Born on 13 July 1887 in Les Lilas, Paris,[a] Faroux began his football career at his hometown club Olympique de Pantin in 1911, aged 24.[3] The following year, on 7 March 1912, he earned his first (and only) international cap in a friendly match against Italy in Turin, helping France achieve its first-ever victory over the Italians (4–3).[4][1][3][5]

During the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Faroux was mobilized within the 2nd Battalion of foot hunters, but following a fracture of the right humerus suffered in combat, he was reformed in 1915. He then played a crucial role in the Pantin team that won the 1916 Coupe de France, beating Étoile des Deux Lacs in the final.[6]

Outside football, he worked as a tinsmith (making and selling tinplate objects).[7]

Death

Following a long and painful illness, Faroux died at his Parisian home on 30 July 1918, at the age of 31, a few weeks before the Armistice of 11 November 1918.[4][1][8] He was buried two days later, on 1 August.[9]
