Despite being left out of the French national team for the World Cup, Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has traveled to the United States to attend a short course at Harvard University. The 23-year-old, who played in the 2022 World Cup final, was not selected by coach Didier Deschamps for the current tournament due to his inconsistent form with Real Madrid.

While in the U.S., Camavinga is combining his trip with attending a four-day course on entertainment and sports at Harvard Business School. He shared his experience on Instagram, posting a photo of his certificate and expressing gratitude for the opportunity. Camavinga wrote, "A few days of learning, listening, and growing. I am very grateful for the experience at Harvard Business School."

Born in Angola and raised in France, Camavinga joined Real Madrid in 2021. He has since played 223 matches for the club, scoring 6 goals and winning 11 titles, including two UEFA Champions League trophies. However, his performance this season has been described as lackluster, contributing to his omission from the national team. Coach Didier Deschamps cited Camavinga's limited playing time and a recent injury as reasons for his exclusion.

The French national team is in Group I for the World Cup, alongside Senegal, Iraq, and Norway. Their opening match is against Norway on June 15. France recently suffered a disappointing 1-2 loss to Ivory Coast in a friendly match preceding the tournament.

He has just had a difficult season with little playing time and an injury.
