The football prodigy Kylian Mbappé is preparing to set foot in Algeria, the country of origin of his mother, for an imminent visit. This first visit for the Paris Saint-Germain player and the French national team represents a unique opportunity to reconnect with his family roots.
Born to a Cameroonian father and an Algerian mother, Mbappé has never hidden his attachment to his two countries of origin. In July 2023, during a stay in Cameroon, he expressed his desire to visit Algeria: “Going to Algeria? I’m trying to plan that soon. It will be with pleasure. I have never been there because I have never had the time. Africa is my roots.”
The confirmation of Mbappé’s visit to Algeria has become more precise in recent days with the presence of members of his family in the country. His mother, Fayza Lamari, was spotted in Algiers, accompanied by other members of the Mbappé-Lamari family, in photos posted on social media. Their presence aims to prepare for the arrival of the world champion this summer.
His visit, scheduled between July 15 and 31 for a duration of 48 hours, coincides with his post-Euro vacation. In agreement with his schedule and preparations for the new season with PSG, his family is currently working to finalize the details of this symbolic visit.
During his visit to Algeria, Mbappé will go to his mother’s native region in Kabylie, where he will participate in charitable actions for children and young athletes. The specific program has not yet been revealed, but there is no doubt that this visit holds major symbolic importance for the player and his Algerian fans.
By going to Algeria, Mbappé follows in the footsteps of other football legends, such as Zinedine Zidane, who made an official visit in 2006. A symbolic gesture that highlights the importance of the country in the global football landscape and inspires the new generation of talents.
It is worth noting that the announcement of Kylian Mbappé’s visit to Algeria has generated immense excitement in the country. Considered one of the best football players in the world, he is a true icon for the youth. His visit will be an opportunity for him to connect with his roots and share his passion for football with his fans.
