Who are Lamine Yamal’s parents? Meet Mounir Nasraoui and Sheila Ebana

Lamine Yamal’s parents, Mounir Nasraoui from Morocco and Sheila Ebana from Equatorial Guinea, both immigrated to Spain and raised Yamal in the greater Barcelona area under modest financial conditions. After separating when Yamal was around three years old, his mother raised him in Rocafonda, Mataró, while working to make ends meet. His name honors two men who helped his family during a period of hardship. Despite his Spanish nationality and international football career with La Roja, Yamal proudly represents his Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean heritage, wearing his parents’ national flags on his boots at every match.
