Meet Michael Olise’s parents who shaped France star’s football journey

Michael Olise’s decision to represent France at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is rooted in family as much as football. His father, Vincent, played cricket for Nigeria across nearly a decade and passed on a love of sport beyond the game. His mother, Mina, a French woman of Algerian descent, introduced Michael to chess and shaped his connection to France from childhood. Together, the two parents built a household where four nationalities, two languages, and multiple sports coexisted, producing a player who carries all of it with him.
