Michael Olise, a promising winger born in west London on December 12, 2001, has made waves in football, currently playing for Bayern Munich after a stint with Crystal Palace. Despite being raised in England, Olise chose to represent France internationally, influenced by his multicultural background as the son of a French-Algerian mother and a Nigerian father. This heritage allows him to be eligible for four national teams: England, France, Algeria, and Nigeria. Olise has expressed a strong connection to France, stating, 'I have always had a connection with the France national team, that is why I play for France.' He began his international career with France at youth levels and earned his first senior call-up in August 2024. Although he can communicate in French, he is not fully fluent, having primarily spoken English at home. His journey reflects the complexities of identity in modern football, where players often navigate multiple cultural influences.
