Jules Koundé Parents: Who are Jules Koundé’s Mother and Father?

Jules Olivier Koundé (born 12 November 1998) is a French professional footballer who plays as a center-back for La Liga club Barcelona and the France national team.

Who are Jules Koundé’s Mother and Father?

Jules Olivier Kounde was the first and only child of a French mother and a Beninese father. So on his father’s side, Jules Kounde’s origin goes back to Benin, a country in West Africa that shares borders with Nigeria and Togo.

So we can say that Jules Kounde is of a multiracial ethnic background. The reason that Jules doesn’t have any brothers or sisters is that his parents separated from each other just a year after Jules was born. Then Jules and his mother left Paris and moved away to live in a small village called Landiras in southwestern France.

As Jules mentioned lately in an interview, his mom had a huge role in his football life and without her support, it would be almost impossible for Jules to become the player he is today.

The only thing that Jules Kounde`s mother asked him was that he shouldn`t play professional football at the cost of leaving school. She made Jules continue his education until he got his Baccalaureate. After that, he stopped education and put all of his focus on becoming a world-class footballer.
