10 footballers with surprising origins you didn't know about
You've heard of players switching allegiances from one national team to another, right? Well this is only possible for those who are elible for it. You see, there are various factors that determine if a player is eligible to represent a country, and one of these is their nationality. But while most footballers are eligible to play for just one national team, there are some of them who actually have the luxury of having multiple options to choose from. That's because they have roots from different countries.
1) Cristiano Ronaldo:
2)Kylian Mbappe:
3) Zlatan Ibrahimovic
4) David Silva:
5) Paulo Dybala:
6) Antoine Griezmann:
7) Marco Asensio:
8) Edinson Cavani:
9) Deco:
10) Trent Alexander-Arnold

I think it's pretty much well known that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is half Croatian - half Bosnian. And as far as I know Ronaldo's granma was born in Cape Verde while it still was a Portugese colony.
Yes. She was born in cabo verde , but, she's Daughter of portuguese people !
So, her blood was portuguese, not african!
@@giselamesquita5124 A lot of Cape Verdeans have Portuguese blood in them, hence why they are considered molato/mestiço. The islands had no population before slavery.
@@goduxunike and do you think, that i didn't know that , because ...?🤨
Teachers teach us that in history lessons! In my case, a near four decades ago. But my memory, are fine, thanks 😉
@@giselamesquita5124 ...because the history thought in Portuguese schools glosses over a lot on how Portugal had the monopoly in the slave trade. Calling it "época dos descobrimentos" sounds nicer indeed.
@@goduxunike it may sound the way you like! But you are wrong , by far my friend!
We learn about the truth, we know about the slave trade, we know about everything that portuguese Empire done to those people!
We are Portugal, not Rússia , my friend !
We don't hide the mess under the carpet and lie about it!
E já que escreve tão bem português , sim, a era dos descobrimentos , apesar dos horrores da escravidão , trouxe novos mundos ao mundo !
O método , foi errado, mas o feito foi notável !
Bye bye
He doesn't have a sweedish last name so I'm pretty sure that 80% of sweeds knew he wasn't fully sweedish
Make that 100% :)
Can you imagine if he played for Croatia?! He might have won a WC with Modric and Rakitic in the midfield.
David Alaba's Father is a Nigerian and Mother from Philippines but born in Austria.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s grandmother was born at Cabo Verde, at a time that was a colony of Portugal . So she was born in Portugal .
Doesnt change the fact that cabo verde is in africa
@@wzupppp Doesn’t change the fact that she is Portuguese living in CV many Portuguese people did so cut the bs
HMMM let's see where cape Verde is Cape Verde or CV (Portuguese: Cabo Verde, Kriolu: Kabu Verdi) is a country in WEST AFRICA meaning she's WEST AFRICAN .your wrong colonies do not change locations for your information.
I expect this video to be the whole french national team except Lloris, Giroud, and rabiot
😂😂
Benzema, Kante
Lmao
You forgot Benzema with Algerian roots
Griezmann is part Portuguese he should of chosen the reds 😂
Imagine zlatan winning wc 2018 with Croatia helping them win against france
That wouldn't have happened 🤣😂😅
@@Emblue11 maybe it would have happen
Zlatan don't win World Cup
World cup wins Zlatan
💥
I don't think the swedes would be surprised of ibrahimovics origins. Lmao
Also, I have heard of certain people running to Argentina during and after WW2 but none of them were villagers opposing the Germans. Kind of am odd choice , considering half the surviving Nas zis went there.
Thruth...
Tell me you have been brainwashed by american propaganda without actually telling me ....
@@charo5320 really? And which part made you believe that?
I have the same thoughts about Argentina and the "polish villager" 😉
Jews also fled to Argentina and other Latin American countries so he’s probably a polish Jew
Radamel Falcao’s great grandfather was from Selby in North Yorkshire but emigrated to Colombia in the 30s
No surprise Cavani having Italian ancestors. 45% of the Uruguayans have at least one Italian ancestor.
Also his last name being Cavani.... lol
@@jakegargiulo5101 Duh?
@@rejectionisprotection4448 Cavani Is clearly italian surname
Cavani in the italian team with Verrati and Immobile=WORLD CUP Winners
@@z.a.1237 I know. It was sarcasm on my part. A lot of this video just tells us what we already know.
David Alaba plays for Austria 🇦🇹 but his Mum is from The Philippines 🇵🇭 and Dad is from Nigeria 🇳🇬.
É por isso que França é uma seleção forte ! Tudo talento e sangue estrangeiro !
Se fossem só franceses , a coisa seria muitoooo fraquinha 🤣🤣🤣
There is no more frenchies anymore, back then they criminalize, slave the blacks not they patronize them 😂😂😂
@@lucasmartinez21 yep! 🤣🤣
Oh yeah, David Silva has spent his whole career playing in Spain - if you don't include the 10 years he played for Man. City.
he meant the national team!😁
Great video. Thanks.
I have actually been in Cape Verde, its really pretty
welke eilanden heb je bezocht? ik kom er zelf vandaan namelijk
Love this channel
Divock Origi's father, Mike Okoth Origi, played and captained the Kenya National Team but his son plays for Belgium where he was born when his father Mike was playing in the Belgian league.
ANSU FATY COULD PLAY FOR 4 TEAMS: SPAIN BY NATURALISATIOM, CAPE VERDE BY MOTHER SIDE, GUINE-BISSAU BY FATHERS SIDE AND PORTUGAL BY BEIN DUAL SPANISH PORTUGUESE NATIONALITY
I was really surprised with the sir Alex Ferguson dating Trent’s grandma
😄
Trent Has Got A Scottish Granny Then
She was hot. Trent maybe Trent Ferguson
A avó cabo verdiana do ronaldo era portuguesa simplesmente estava em cabo verde, que era uma colónia portuguesa 🤣
Imagine Cavan I playing for Italy 🤯
Noti gang 🔥🔥
Cavani in the italian national team would be crazy op
he doesnt look european...NOT a tiny bit
@@jonstory5337 neither did Balotelli
@@SorryAndSad Baloteli is Ghanaian
@@TheSub-SaharanAmericanLegend he's Italian, born and bred. Ghanaian origin. Just like how players of Australians, Canadians and Americans aren't Native to those lands.
@@henryemele3147 we’re saying he doesn’t look Italian
I can only imagine how potent Japan would have been if David Silva played for them.
Hmm hmm They would of made The World Cup 3rd Place
With him doan and Kubo Nasty Nasty stuff
no need. japan always find their way on their own even if it takes time.
Oh, Zlatan... What a surprise.. As a Swede I am chocked 😅🤣
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS AMEN 😇😇😇
👀
You are chocked ?
@@omzy8700 well yeah only Swedes get chocked when they are very surprise.
Zaltan is the only human being with citizenship to all the countries!
Kylian Mbappé Lottin. These are all Cameroonian names, not Nigerian.
Kylian is half Nigeria 🇳🇬, his Nigeria name is adesanmi. He's actually Nigeria, his father grandfather moved to Cameroon
@@konfidojah-son6906 in which dream? His dad being from Cameroon and mother from Algeria. and kylian is half nigerian. wow
@@zipork his grandfather is a Nigerian which makes him more Nigerian than Cameroon
@@davisxclusive8409 wow! Man please Stop it! All His ancestors are from Douala. The sawa people nothing to do with Nigeria
@@zipork search before you write! His father is half Nigeria and half Cameroon andhismotherisAlgeria. I was doubting it until I came across a lot of evidence. Cameroon or Nigeria the most important thing is that he's African
You could do a video on Senegal by itself. Leroy sane , Ousmane dembele, viera, Évra, Sagna, kamara, André Onana and so much more it’s not even a joke😂
Isn’t André Onana Cameroonian?
All rather to play for Europe instead of Africa 🤣😂
@@pumalogo204 and that’s funny?
@@Soso-wy8sy yeah suck it up and deal with it😁😁
@@Soso-wy8sy he is. I think there is another Onana that is Senegalese and Cameroonian but he plays for Belgium if I'm not mistaken
Özil has two countries he represents Turkish and German
That's too obvious
Hopefully one day we will see them all player in Afcon
i espected alphonso davies, he has alot of nationalities
Heard of all of these still good content.
Same and ikr
Karim Benzema Algerian descent. Jonathan Boateng his father is a Ghanaian. Do you remember the Wegner brothers who played for USA in 1994 world cup? They are originally from here South Africa. Paul Pogba is from Guinea. Patrick Vieira Senegal. Patrice Evra Cape Verde and Zinedine Zidane Algeria.
Patrice is Senegalese, he was born there also but he does have some cape verdian blood.
@@futbolkulture noted thanks.
Lol damn obvious. The title literally mentioned "surprising origin", even though some listed may not so surprising but at least not too boring obvious like your list.
P/S : must it be only African? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
@@CopyrightRegistered I give you 1 out of 10.
@@James.Gnostic.Galahad wow now you are a Human Standardized Officer. LOL Mr. Boring Obvious.
David Alaba that plays for Austria 🇦🇹 and Real Madrid is a Nigerian 🇳🇬 by origin. His father is a Nigerian and his mother is from the Philippines 🇵🇭.
Theres zidane,klose,patrick viara,and alfrado di stefeno
Forgot to say that Deco was borned and raised in Brazil …
Dude nice video but your pronouncing Dybala's name wrong
You're*
Imagine dybala winning the euros with Italy
U forgot about Leo messi, his roots r from another planet
Sick channel Canyou do one for Turkey 🇹🇷 please as half the German Team is full of Turkish lads I played for Turkey 🇹🇷 at u15 & u19 was a pro a Bury half English half Turkish but they came for me
Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané , Manuel Neuer, Goretzka ?
Apart from Gundogan, who is of Turkish descent in the NT? Oezil has long retired from the NT.
Top talent 👏
Dybala would have been great in an Italian kit!
No
Nice
my origins are from 3 continents China, south Africa, England
Lionel Messi would be considered for this video because he's half Italian and half Spanish and he would have been eligible to play for Italy or Spain as well as Argentina
Just imagine, if CR7's grandmother didn't move, we wouldnt have had the joy of watching a goat. Thank you so much Granny CR7.
What do you mean? There are legends from Africa. Don't sell your bull shit here.
@@oluwatobiadegoke13 It has nothing to do with that you moron. Think about what different life they would have had if they never moved to Portugal, CR7 may never even have become a footballer. If you remove one tiny grain of sand from the past, you change history forever.
And y'all should also thank the doctor for saving Ronaldo from getting killed through abortion by his mother.
What a stupid logic 😂😂😂
It's great granny CR7.
What about George Weah’s son playing for USA . Son of president of Liberia.
Inaki Williams has 3 origins Ghanaian ,Liberian , Spanish
Both parents are Ghanaians
Odysseas Vlachodimos - Greece + Germany and Haris Seferović - Switzerland + Bosnia
Wow. Interesting
Im an English person living in spain and I'm happy that if I ever played football professionally I could play for the Spanish national team I'm only 11
🎉🎉
Shouldn't be like that you should only play for the county you were born in
@@lucifersantos314 is really not that simple. You can be born in a country and feel no love or connection to that country for many reasons.
Anyone knows the song playing in the background? Sounds like something from Cushy
All of them turned good footballers
David Silva hasn’t spent his entire career playing in Spain he was at Manchester City for about 9/10 years
The PS5 which literally sits in my room right now, and which has the most iconic design for a computer ever, has been out for 2 years and still they couldnt find 1 picture of it but they could from the developer kit. Wow.
I LIKE THIS IDEA
Sergiño Dest was born in the Netherlands and his dad is Surinamese, but he plays for the US
Zlatan isn’t as liked anymore he bought part of another club here a club he’s never played for ignoring Malmö who was the team that brought him up
like paulo dybala once said rotted in poland mode in argentina polished in italy
thnx xz
Kante was born in France but father from mali
Thanks for telling me 👍
Kante was born in Mali
@@vibewith6ty508 nope, he’s born in France!
Alfonce Areola is a Filipino born in France.
0:51 i dont remember the ps5 looking like that
0:53 that’s some shady design for a PS5, nothing suspicious at all lol
Ryan Giggs is an interesting one.
Mbappe is half Cameroon and half Algeria
What the… I was born in Cabo Verde and had no idea Ronaldo had roots from there
You missed Jamal Musiala, who could had a different options too.
isn't it funny how footballers have an option to choose a national team like its clubs.
Lionel Messi comes from an Albanian family that immigrated to Italy 600 years ago(Arberesh 🇦🇱) then from Italy to America, there are about 30,000 Albanian Arberesh in Argentina, in my town in Albania there are many families with the last name Messi, An Argentinian priest also says that they are of Albanian Arberesh origin, you can find it on CZcams
I've seen so many Albanians falsely claiming some Chinese Emperors to be Albanian and Roman Emperors that I'm gonna have to call BS on this one.
I agree . It is one thing to speak of parents and grandparents . That way a lot of black players based for example in European countries such as Mbappe, Pogba, Bakayoko Saka, Hudson Odoi etc etc have African roots. If you want to go back hundreds of years like 600 years then players like Vini Junior have African roots all players from South America in fact have African of European roots 300 years or more ago.
Correction: Mbappe is a 100% Cameroonian name... from a region called "Littoral"... Not Nigerian. His grand father played in Cameroon national team in the 60s and 70s and was great too. His last name is from Cameroon not Nigeria.Do your research😉
I never heard Nigeria people with surname “Mbappe” they think all Africans are Nigerian. People always ask me if I’m from Nigeria.
They’re few Nigerians that bears that name.
Youri Djorkaeff is half French half Armenian
what about David Alaba eligible for Nigeria and Philippines if he didn't chose Austria?
Jollibee
Heung Min Son Has Honduras 🇭🇳 Roots
His Grandfather Is From Honduras His Dad Is Korean
That’s an interesting one.
Stop the cap lil bro, you've got 5 likes already, poor people 💀
Sane could have played for France or Germany. Ozil for Turkey or Germany
Raheem Sterling, he is Jamaican but plays for England
Ohhh noooo I didn’t know that Zlatans family name is not 100% From Sweden 😅🤣🤣😭
Deco played for Brazil too
No kidding Mbappe has African roots !
I’m sorry there are no surprises as people do move around from time to time and have kids in different countries which they represent in football eventually
That shocked me that Trent is American
00:52 that ain’t no ps5 😂
MBAPPÈ IS NOT NIGERIAN, HE IS CAMEROONIAN, HIS DAD IS FROM CAMEROON.
Correct, with a Cameroonian name
@@MrLobe65 Exactly.
The Dutchman Memphis Deepay, his father is from Ghana …
De bruyne can play for Burundi and Belgium 🇧🇪 🇧🇮
No he hasn't any Burundian ancestry, only his mother was born in Burundi to White Belgian settlers in during Belgian colonialism in Burundi
Koulibali use to play for the drench national team but decided to play for Senegal
And that’s why I respect him, Mané, Edouard Mendy, and all the others
@@entschuldigung mane isn’t French tho,he’s straight out of bambali born and raised🇸🇳
Respect my breda
@@futbolkulture sorry I forgot I used to think he played in France before
@@entschuldigung no your right on that, he used to play for Metz. He’s never played for France at any level tho
About Mbappe, no one would say he has african roots. Astonishing.
?
Narrator: You cannot mention Paula Dybala’s origin story without WWII *shows video of Hitler*
Me: Starts to think that Dybala is the descendant of Nazis that fled to Argentina
Mario Gomez is half Spanish and half German and won a World Cup with neither!
Well i'd be in a hard decision since I could play for England , Portugal and Brazil ._.
Ibrahimovic parent is like mine when I was 2 years old
Ter stegen is also half dutch i tought
Trent being American is so understandable, he looks like a brother of antonee robinson.
David Trezeguet and Argentina roots
My mom is half Mexican and Native American and my dad is black American and his grandfather is afro Argentine
Quarter of German team I early 2000 of Polish origin, most of the French players of foreign origin, so is Dutch, so is English.
You forgot Messi his Grandparens from Italia and spain anyway Great video
One goalkeeper of France is Filipino! Alphonse Areola.. 🇵🇭
Ronaldo's grandma is Portuguese, Cape Verde is a colony. For her to be native there, the skin color should match the natives, but who am I to ruin people's dreams of being 1/97 Sioux Native American
What do Native Americans have to do with Cape Verde?
That's actually so absurd because there are parts of Africa that do have white natives LOL
@@Lrxxx321 it doesn’t even make sense what you’re saying. There isn’t such thing as “native whites” in Africa. Every single white person comes from Europe.
@@Lrxxx321 What? Africa does NOT have white natives. LOL There are white people that are born in Africa but that does not mean you are ethnically African.
@@SilVia-hs2kb hahahaha lemme guess yall American yall can google and learn something new today
You forgot Gio reyna and Christian Pulisic
Now I can see the Japanese in David Silva
Bojan Krkic, the left leg Messi, could have played for Serbia since his dad is a Serb.
