September 2021, young Lorenzo Hoareau was called up to the senior national team for a friendly tournament in Comoros. He made his debut for Seychelles in a friendly against the hosts on September 1, 2021. Three days later, he scored his first goal for the country in a loss to Burundi. He scored in a senior international match for an African nation at the age of 14 years and 247 days. He is also the second-youngest player to score in a major international tournament worldwide, after Myanmar’s Aung Kyaw Tun.
