Yamal often remembers his origins in Rocafonda, a humble and multicultural neighborhood with a strong presence of immigrants in the city of Mataró, in Catalonia. In celebrations, the athlete makes the number 304 gesture with his hands, a tribute to the region’s postal code (08304). The sign has become a symbol of pride for the local community.

Son of a Moroccan father (Mounir Nasraoui) and a Guinean mother (Sheila Ebana, from Equatorial Guinea), the player was born in Esplugues de Llobregat, in the metropolitan region of Barcelona, ​​and was raised in Mataró.

His grandmother, Fátima, migrated from Morocco and worked in Spain to support her 5 children. She took care of her grandson in a public square while the boy’s parents worked. As a child, Yamal shared a small apartment with his grandmother and 10 other relatives.
