Early years


Upamecano was born on 27 October 1998 in Évreux, Normandy to a family from Guinea-Bissau; he was raised in La Madeleine, a neighbourhood with many African immigrants.[4][5] He was named after his great-grandfather, who was king of the village on the island of Jeta in Guinea-Bissau, which his parents are from.[6] He is the first son after four daughters, and has one younger brother.[5] As a 15-year-old, he followed speech therapy sessions to overcome dyslexia and stuttering disorders, which caused shyness and certain difficulties in expressing himself.[6]

Upamecano began playing football with local club Évreux, alongside the likes of Ousmane Dembélé, Rafik Guitane and Samuel Grandsir.[5] He covered a variety of positions in his youth, before being fixed on the centre-back position.[5] He joined the youth academy of Valenciennes in 2013.[7] Described during the time as a youth in an adult body, Upamecano shaped his play after Sergio Ramos, and developed into a physically imposing defender.[5]

FC Köln that saw Bayern lose 3–2 after fielding a side largely consisting of reserve and youth players.[22][23]

He made his competitive debut on the opening day of the 2021–22 Bundesliga season, starting at centre-back alongside Niklas Süle in a 1–1 away draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach.[24] He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–0 win over VfL Wolfsburg on 17 December, heading in a cross from Thomas Müller.[25]


International career


Upamecano is of Bissau-Guinean descent.[4] He played for the France under-16 team that finished third in the 2014 Aegean Cup.[26] He played in three of his country's four games and was named the competition's best defender.[27][28] He subsequently moved up to the France under-17 squad, making his debut in a European Championship qualifier against Cyprus on 27 October 2014.[27] France won the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, with Upamecano playing in all six of his country's matches and being named in the team of the tournament.[29][30] He made his debut for France under-18 in a 0–0 friendly draw with United States under-18 on 4 September 2015.[31]
