Early Life & Education
Wissam Ben Yedder was born 12 August 1990 in Sarcelles, France, to Tunisian parents. Wissam Ben Yedder is a French professional footballer. He plays the role of a striker for Ligue 1 club Monaco and the France national team.
Yedder grew up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the French capital, where he experienced a tough upbringing that saw him overcome many obstacles. Due to repeated violence, his parents were forced, out of fear, to move their family to a nearby town named Garges-les-Gonesse. Wissam Ben Yedder always wanted to b a footballer right from child. He once stated that he had a tough childhood in as much as it was hard to be successful there while there were lots of talented young players with huge potentials, so it was unlikely to come looking for players there.
Rather than playing with children of his own age, he was always looking to play at a higher level to test himself. He always remembers his memorable childhood when the older boys would ask him to play with them and say: ‘Hey, you’re playing on my team.’ This gave Ben Yedder a huge pride as well as a desire to keep improving.
Playing street football in the Parisian suburbs finally led Ben Yedder to take up futsal for two years before becoming professional. He credits the fast-paced game with improving his technique making him more comfortable in front of goal.
Wissam Ben Yedder was never ashamed of admitting the fact that growing up in a tough neighborhood strengthened his own desire to succeed and play football at the highest level. Although he cherished his childhood experiences, he never forgot that he wanted to test himself on the football field at the highest level.

Personal Life
Wissam grew up in a very tough environment. he suffered so much while growing up. Wissam Ben Yedder has a kind of resolved personality who is suffused with a strong determination to success. His motto in life is to “keep smiling” which explains the reason why he always tries to maintain a positive manner.
Football has always been an indispensable part of his life and he was continuously playing the sport when he was growing up, while he was not always blessed with the encouragement of his parents who would complain when he came home late.
Reading his own sayings in this regard is much more engrossing “You need to chase that success. He said thus “I’ve always believed in my own success; I’ve always given myself the best chance to achieve that and I think the key is to have faith”.
Never stop believing. Even when things aren’t going well, you have to keep believing that you’ll make it. It’s true that moving out of that fairly difficult environment, how we lived, which wasn’t easy, can be seen as a success.
And it’s a good thing. My goal has always been to succeed as a professional – I’ve always put myself in a position to be able to achieve that and even when that didn’t work out, I’ve always believed in myself.” Wissam currently does not have a love life, either does he have a child.
