Biography
Breel Donald Embolo (born 14 February 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Major League Soccer club Atlanta United and the Switzerland national team.
Born in Cameroon, Embolo moved with his mother and siblings to France before finally settling in Switzerland. After working his way through their junior teams, Embolo made his professional debut for Basel in March 2014, and won the Swiss Super League in all three of his first seasons before moving to Germany after being signed by Schalke 04 for a reported fee of €20 million. Shortly after moving to the Bundesliga, he suffered an ankle injury that ruled him out for nearly a year. He later played for Borussia Mönchengladbach before moving to Ligue 1 to play for Monaco.
Embolo made his senior international debut in 2015, earning over 90 caps. He represented Switzerland at the UEFA European Championship in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and at the FIFA World Cup in 2018, 2022 and 2026.
