Wembanyama scores twice in Houston amateur football match wearing PSG jersey

A feigned free kick leading to a goal, a corner to the far post, and a heavy right-footed strike finding the back of the net—one might think this is a summary of the best plays of an average football player, but not a compilation of Victor Wembanyama. Yet, the Frenchman from the San Antonio Spurs took part in an amateur football match at the Katy Sports Complex in Houston, Texas.

The French center, recently called up for the second window of the 2027 World Cup qualifiers, is enjoying some downtime during the summer break. Wearing a Paris Saint-Germain jersey, the player from the Paris region joined a friendly match among local youths. Filmed by many onlookers, who were more than surprised to see him on a football pitch, "Wemby" reportedly scored two goals, celebrating in the style of Kylian Mbappé before leaving to cheers from the crowd.

Training Session with Hakeem Olajuwon

This is not the first time the Frenchman has joined a match, as he did the same in Japan last summer. In Houston, Victor Wembanyama didn't just kick the round ball; he also took part in a special training session with Hakeem Olajuwon at the NBA legend's academy.
