Albert Rénier (8 May 1896 – 5 April 1948) was a French footballer who played all of his career for Le Havre.[1] He played in four matches for the France national football team between 1920 and 1924, netting once.[2]
Club career
He played his entire career with Le Havre Athletic Club, thus being part of the so-called one-club men group. With his club, he reached the 1920 Coupe de France Final after beating AS Cannes after extra-time in the semi-finals. Albert Rénier could not play in the final and without him, the club lost to Cercle Athlétique de Paris (1–2).[3]
International career
He earned four caps for the France national team between 1920 and 1924, and scored a goal in France's 2–0 victory over Belgium on 13 January 1924 at the Stade Buffalo,[4] netting with a diving header by taking over a cross from Gérard Isbecque. In 1924, he was a member of the French squad for the football tournament at the 1924 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.[1]
In 1919, he took part in the Inter-Allied Games in Paris, a large sports competition organized in celebration of the Allied victory in World War I. However, the matches of the tournament are not included in the official FIFA register.[5] Rénier helped France win Group A with one goal against Romania (4–0) and a hat-trick against Greece (11–0). Rénier also scored in the final to give his side a 2–0 lead over Czechoslovakia, but his team ended up losing 3–2.[6]
