Yamal’s 17th birthday falls on Saturday, July 13—just one day before Spain is set to face England in the EURO 2024 final held in Germany. At a post-game press conference after the semi-finals, Yamal discussed his record-breaking feat. [According to the Associated Press](https://apnews.com/article/yamal-spain-euro-2024-youngest-scorer-5f30ffdc3dbf58087a353b6ef2584a69), he told reporters: “I don’t know if it’s the best goal of the tournament, but it’s the most special for me because it is my first goal with the team at a European Championship.” Raised in Catalonia, Spain, Yamal plays the position of right winger for the country's national soccer team and FC Barcelona. Here’s what else you need to know about the rising soccer star. ## **Who are Lamine Yamal’s mother and father?** Yamal is the son of Mounir Nasraoui, who immigrated to Spain from Morocco, and Sheila Ebana, who immigrated to Spain from Equatorial Guinea, [according to The Athletic](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4997511/2023/10/26/barcelona-lamine-yamal-rocafonda-el-clasico/).

Whoever is a father knows it, and any father wants his child to be the best,” he said. “Not only in football, but also in the love he gives and as a person. He is a child and he has a blessing from God, which is very important and must be valued.”  Lamine Yamal of Spain in action during the UEFA EURO 2024 semi-final match between Spain and France at Munich Football Arena on July 9, 2024, in Munich, Germany.
