French-Jewish footballer Dan Elkayam named among Bondi attack victims

Dan Elkayam, 27, has been named among the 16 victims murdered during Sunday’s terror attack on a Chabad-organised Chanukah gathering at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

A French national, Elkayam moved to Australia last year to work as an IT analyst at NBC Universal.

He was also an avid footballer and played for Rockdale Ilinden FC in Sydney.

The club remembered him as “an integral member” of its first XI squad in a statement, saying: “[He was] an extremely talented and popular figure amongst team mates.
