[PHOTOS] Back-to-roots: Mbappe visits father’s native country, Cameroon

France’s star footballer Kylian Mbappe arrived in Cameroon to an ecstatic welcome from fans for a visit that includes charity work with deaf children and a trip to his father’s village.

Many among the hundreds who greeted the 24-year-old forward were dressed in his Paris Saint-Germain team’s football jersey for the occasion. 

“We are proud to see our Cameroonian brother. We want to offer him a very warm welcome,” high-school student Vannel Kunde, aged 16, enthused.


He also took part in a basketball game, with expectations it will involve retired NBA player Joakim Noah, the son of Yannick. Later on, he took part in a football match against second-division Cameroon club FC Vent d’Etoudi.
