It turns out that the Germans falsified Youssoufa Moukoko birth year and that the Borussia Dortmund striker is four years older than long believed. Instead of 18, he is actually 22! The mistake was first discovered by Spiegel and forced the other media to start going through the attacker’s past. ‘Bunte’ came into possession of the baptismal certificate from Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, where Moukoko was born and the date of his birth was recorded as July 19, 2000, and not on November 20, 2004, according to the official version.Moukoko’s true age comes to light. The Bunte newspaper publishes a birth certificate whose authenticity is not proven according to which the Borussia Dortmund striker is 22 years old and not 18. pic.twitter.com/w9aNqgRL8U— The Barca Index (@BarcaIndex) March 10, 2023 But just before they were about to publish it (three months ago), Youssoufa Moukoko had the publication of the birth certificate banned by a court. Now the Frankfurt/Main district court decided in the first instance: The ban on publishing the birth certificate was unjustified. In any case, his age were doubtful from the beginning, when an African appeared in the younger categories of Borussia a few years ago. He stood out compared to the competition since the beginning, scored and set up goals not in line with his age. Playing for U15 in one season, he scored 90 times in 56 games!”His age can only be guessed. Maybe the reality is that he is a year or two older, but he is certainly not 17. Regardless, the guy is not guilty of anything, he did not deceive anyone, nor did he commit any fraud” said Timo Preus, coach of the young team of Borussia Dortmund at the time when Moukoko was playing for his team.Borussia Dortmund star Youssoufa Moukoko ‘caught up in age fraud stormAccording to the latest information, Borussia and the German Football Association ignored the existence of the case. They did not want to check the data. They stuck to the version based on which Millionaires reported talent from the “class of 2000” and as such, the system registered and recognized him every time. He was even part of the German national team at the World Cup in Qatar.Cameroonian born record breaker almost gave up on football at the age of 15Then ‘Bunte’ decided to take a look into the past and came to the baptismal certificate registered under the number 4621/2000, which shows that the Borussia footballer was born in Yaounde (only that, it seems, is credible), but as Youssoufa Mohamadou. Likewise, the document shows that the parents are Ousman Mohamadou (taxi driver) and Yusuf Harira (housewife). And in Germany, a certain Joseph Moukoko, who lives with thel player, was identified as his biological father. It turns out that he is his stepfather. It is suspected that it was Joseph who told the journalists that the papers were forged and his motives for this are currently not known. Meanwhile, Moukoko has extended his contract with Borussia (expired this summer) until June 2026. There were plenty interest for the player, mainly from Chelsea and Newcastle, but both clubs gave up when they started to check everything, including player’s papers.##NAJAVA_MECA_7088297##
