Captain of the Blues, Kylian Mbappé affirms that in the event that he would become a father, there would be no question for him of telling his child to choose between France and Cameroon with regard to his sporting nationality.
“It’s a personal choice.” For his visit to Cameroon, his father’s native country, Kylian Mbappé answered questions from La Nouvelle Chaîne Ivoirienne. During this interview broadcast on Tuesday evening, the French striker from Paris Saint-Germain was asked for his point of view on the subject of sporting nationality with a personal scenario: if he were to be the father of a high-level footballer son, would he tell him to choose the France team or that of Cameroon?
“It’s an easy question, because it’s a question that comes from the heart, it’s not like a club,” Kylian Mbappé first replied, ensuring that he answered without “any dodge”.
“It’s a choice that he will make”
“You have to see the tie he has with the country, if he is closer to Cameroon, if he is closer to France, he added. Me, I was born in France, I I have my origins which are Cameroonian. But I have spent my whole life in France. That’s why I chose France. But my son, it will be different”.
“Maybe I will live in Cameroon, that he will have a greater tie with Cameroon and therefore he will choose Cameroon. Or we will be in France and he will choose France. But it is a choice that he will make. “I don’t want to tell him to do something, because it’s a personal choice. I’ll just be his father, and I won’t be anyone else to tell him to do something or not to do it.” It’s a choice that is personal. I’m sure he will take the right one, because I’m sure it will come from his heart,” concluded Kylian Mbappé.
Triumphant welcome
Kylian Mbappé spent three days in Cameroon, where he was welcomed almost like a head of state. During the first two days of his visit, Thursday and Friday in the capital Yaoundé, the 2018 world champion visited a school for deaf and hard of hearing children which his foundation also finances and then had a meeting with Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute, including child aid projects in Cameroon, according to his entourage.
On the third and last day of a visit to the country that his father left very young for France, Kylian Mbappé came to see the progress of the renovation work of this nursery and primary school financed by his foundation Inspired By KM.
