About Geoffrey Kondogbia in brief
Geoffrey Edwin Kondogbia is a Central African professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Atlético Madrid and the Central African Republic national team. He started his career at Lens, then signed with Sevilla at the age of 19. In 2013 he was bought by Monaco for €20 million, and then by Inter Milan for €31 million two years later. He returned to Spain in 2017 to play for Valencia, and in 2020 moved to Atletico Madrid. In August 2018, he was cap-tied to the CentralAfrican Republic by switching his allegiance, and made his debut for its national team in an official match shortly after.
He is the most famous Central African player to have played professionally for an European football giant, making him one of the few players to have done so in both Europe and North America. He was selected in the French squad for the 2013 FIFA-20 World Cup in Turkey, and scored the opening goal in an eventual 3–1 victory against Ghana in the round-of-16. He also played for the French national team at the 2014 World Cup, and was chosen as man of the match for his all-around performance in the tournament.
