Early life

[edit]

Born in Tizi Ouzou, Algeria, Yesli moved to Montreal, Canada, at the age of two.[1][2] Yesli played youth soccer with CS Dollard, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce SA, and Panellinios St Michel FC.[3] Afterwards, he was part of the Montreal Impact Academy.[4]

Club career

[edit]

In January 2018, Yesli joined U.S. Vibonese Calcio in the Italian Serie D,[5][6] where they won promotion to the Serie C.[7] He re-signed for the 2018–19 season.[8]

In 2019 and 2020, he played with CS Fabrose in the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, winning the 2019 Coupe PLSQ.[9][10] He decided to attend the Université de Montréal and play for the Carabins soccer team in 2020,[11] however the playing season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was selected third overall by Valour FC of the Canadian Premier League in the 2021 CPL-U Sports Draft,[12] but did not ultimately sign with them for the 2021 season. However, he did serve as the league's emergency goalkeeper during the league's initial season which took place in a bubble, available to all team's on a short-term loan, in case of an injury to a team's goalkeepers as replacements were not available due to the bubble format, although he was not ultimately needed as a replacement.[13] Afterwards, he trained with Major League Soccer club CF Montréal.[14]

He then joined AS Blainville in the PLSQ for the 2021 season.[14] He made his Canadian Championship debut on 17 August 2021 against Canadian Premier League side HFX Wanderers FC in a 2–1 loss.[15]

In January 2022, he signed with Valour FC for the 2022 season.[16] He made his debut for the club on 11 May in a Canadian Championship match against MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[17] He made his league debut on 1 June in a 1–0 loss to Atlético Ottawa.[18] He earned his first victory and clean sheet on 3 August, in his second league start, in a 2–0 victory over Cavalry FC.[19] In January 2023, he went on a training sting with French Ligue 1 club AC Ajaccio, first joining the reserves, before joining the first team for training.[20][21] He was named the CPL Goalkeeper of the Month for June 2023.[22] After leading the league with 81 saves,[23] at the end of the 2023 season, he was nominated for the CPL Golden Glove award, for the league's top goalkeeper.[24][25]

In February 2024, he moved to Atlético Ottawa in an intra-league transfer, with Noah Verhoeven moving to Valour on a one-year loan in exchange.[26][27] Yesli signed a one-year contract with an option for 2025 with Ottawa.[28] After serving as the starter for Valour the previous season, he became part of a tandem rotation with Nathan Ingham in Ottawa.[29] He made his first start for the club on 27 April against the HFX Wanderers.[30]

In January 2025, Yesli signed with the HFX Wanderers for the 2025 season with an option for 2026.[31][32] In April 2025, Yesli was named the Canadian Premier League's Goalkeeper of the Month.[33][34]

On 8 January 2026, Yesli signed with Olympique Akbou in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1.[35]

International career

[edit]

Born in Algeria and raised in Canada, Yesli is eligible to represent both Algeria and Canada at international level.[36]

In June 2025, Yesli stated that he was interested in representing Algeria at international level if called.[37] In October 2025, he was called up to the Algeria A' national team, their secondary national team that usually calls up only domestic league players, for a pair of friendlies against Palestine.[38] In November 2025, he was again called up to the side.[39] Later in November, he was called up to the Algeria national team for the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup.[40]

Personal life

[edit]

Born in Algeria, Yesli moved to Canada at a young age and holds dual Algerian and Canadian nationality.[41]
