Скачать или смотреть The Joy of Dual Nationality in Football

Representing your country on the international level is one of the biggest honors in football. Hearing the national anthem and knowing that an entire nation is behind you is something that few people let alone footballers get to experience. In the case of Michaela Abam and so many other footballers, she was blessed with the opportunity to represent more than one nation, as she was born in the United States to Cameroonian parents meaning she was eligible for the yanks and the Indomitable Lionesses.

Although a difficult decision at first, Michaela explains how it was because of the connection she had with her Cameroonian heritage growing up that led her to embrace her roots and play for @fecafootofficiel. Michaela may play for Cameroon but she still holds her American identity close. She put it best “I’m American, I’m Cameroonian, I’m both and I’m proud”.
