Player Profile
From Guinea-Bissau to the Nou Camp
Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Anssumane Fati Vieira moved to Spain as a child. He passed through Sevilla's academy before joining FC Barcelona's La Masia at just 10 years old in 2012, where he would go on to rewrite the history books.
"Fati can play at 9, 11, 7, 10. He's very versatile. Fast. Great imagination. A natural talent who plays freely, as if it's the street." — Albert Puig, former La Masia Director
By 16, he had debuted for Barcelona's first team — the second-youngest ever to wear the shirt. He needed parental permission for his first match due to La Liga's late-night age rules. Within weeks he was already rewriting club and league history.
