It was a gathering of many football loving Cameroonians moment they got a wind that French and PSG captain Kylian Mbappe “returned to his African origin.
Mbappe who was born to a Cameroonian father, visited the country’s Prime Minister Joseph Ngute on Friday, along with other officials.
According to BBC, It was his first trip to Cameroon since he was a teenager.
Aside meeting government officials, Mbappe who is 24 years old spent some time with Cameroonian sports figures, such as MMA star Francis Ngannou, with whom he was pictured smiling.
He also played basketball with former Chicago Bulls star Joakim Noah at Noah’s court, where he was pictured with a crowd of onlookers watching the game.
He later played football against the Cameroonian team Vent d’Etoudi FC, Reuters reports.
The Humanity In Mbappe
Mbappé is also carrying out humanitarian work on his trip on behalf of his foundation, which seeks to help young people achieve their goals.
Speaking thereafter, the French football star said he was honoured to visit Cameroon, his country of origin.
PSG Uncertainty
For sure, Mbappe who had won FIFA World Cup with France will play for PSG in the 2023/24 football season, but he is most likely going to bolt out after 2024.
He joined PSG in 2017 initially on loan from Monaco before a 180m euros (£165.7m) transfer.
He has scored 212 goals in 260 games for the club.
