According to numerous websites and online encyclopedias, Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene is the daughter of former Cameroon international and coach Jean Manga Onguene.
That useful piece of information provided FIFA.com with a starting point for an interview with the midfielder, who has impressed so far at the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™, and also seemed reason enough for setting up an interview with the ex-Indomitable Lions player himself.
There was only one problem: the information was entirely inaccurate.
“But who are you talking about?†said a nonplussed Gabrielle when it was put to her that her father Jean Manga must be feeling very proud to see his daughter represent Cameroon on their FIFA Women’s World Cup debut. “He’s not my father.â€
Cue a hurried explanation from the interviewer followed by a profuse apology, which was immediately accepted by the interviewee, who found it all rather amusing and was more than happy to continue answering the questions put to her.
Our apologies should also go to Gabrielle’s real father Clement Onguene, who in an ironic twist, has a photo of Jean Manga hanging in his lounge.
“He is like a father to me, though,†said Gabrielle of her namesake. “He’s a father to all of us footballers because of everything he did for the Cameroonian game,†she added, her face all smiles at the mix-up.
