André Onana Background
)
André Onana was born in Nkol Ngok, Cameroon, to his parents, Adele Onana and Francois Onana. Onana has a cousin, Fabrice Ondoa, who is also a soccer goalkeeper by profession and has 50 appearances for the Cameroonian national team.
Onana's journey into soccer began at the Samuel Eto'o Academy before catching the eye of Barcelona's famed La Masia youth system at the young age of 14. While at Barcelona, Onana continued to develop his goalkeeping skills, and he was influenced by the La Masia culture, which helped him become comfortable with the ball at his feet.
After loan spells in Spain due to being under 18 and a non-EU citizen, he moved to Dutch giants Ajax in 2015. There, he blossomed, establishing himself as the first-choice goalkeeper within a year. Onana's impressive saves and distribution played a key role in Ajax's success, helping them win three Eredivisie titles.
