My skin colour has not made things easier’ – Nigerian-eligible star laments racism in Germany

Nigerian-eligible goalkeeper Noah Atubolu has openly discussed the hostility he has encountered in the Bundesliga as a result of his Nigerian heritage.

The 22-year-old, who was born and reared in Freiburg to Nigerian parents, has competed for Germany at the U17, U19, and U21 levels and even won the Fritz Walter Medal U19 Bronze in 2021.

The goalkeeper joined Freiburg in the 2021 summer transfer window and has found a way to becoming the club’s first-choice shot-stopper.

However, despite his obvious skill and allusions, Atubolu has faced hate speech, even from some Freiburg supporters.
