Mbappe “honoured” to tour father’s native Cameroon

The future of Paris St. Germain forward Kylian Mbappe is in doubt as he makes his first trip to his father’s native Cameroon this week.

As the 24-year-old celebrity arrived for a three-day tour of the country on Thursday, ecstatic fans gathered at the airport in the capital Yaounde.

“It is a privilege for me to be here, in my country of origin, with my family, and to observe the people there,” she said. After speaking with Joseph Dion Ngute, the prime minister of Cameroon, on Friday, Mbappe said, “They have shown me some love.

He was scheduled for a physically active afternoon, playing basketball against former NBA player Joakim Noah before taking the field for a soccer match against Vent d’etoudi FC of Cameroon.

He will visit his father Wilfried, a football coach and his agent, in his village in Douala, the country’s economic center, on Saturday.

Visits to schools supported by Mbappe’s “Inspired by кm” charity, including one that specializes in instructing children with hearing impairment, are also part of the tour.

He added that he had more youth projects in the works and stated, “We are working hard for a bright future in Cameroon.”

Mbappe was born and raised in the northeastern Paris suburbs, where his handball-playing mother from Algeria resided.

Since he informed the team last month that he would not exercise the option of a one-year extension on his contract when it expires next year, there have been concerns about his future at PSG.
