Barça Makes History with 13-Year-Old Mohamed Dabone’s Basketball Debut

“From Burkina Faso to Barcelona, the Young Colossus Takes the Court”

Barcelona, Spain – In an extraordinary moment, Barcelona’s basketball section witnessed the debut of a 13-year-old phenom, Mohamed Dabone. Standing at an imposing 2.10 meters (over 6 feet 10 inches), the young player from Burkina Faso made his entrance in a friendly match against Bàsquet Girona, which Barça won 77-88.

Long-Awaited Debut

Coach Joan Peñarroya had hinted at Dabone’s potential debut last season, but bureaucratic hurdles delayed it until this past Friday. Although it wasn’t an official game, Dabone’s entrance was a significant milestone in his young career.

First Action, First Slam Dunk

“Dabone jumped to the track in the second quarter“, and in one of his initial actions, he grabbed a loose ball and “crushed the Gerundense ring with a huge force“. This wasn’t new to onlookers; Dabone had dominated in training sessions throughout the last season. He finished the game with four points and three rebounds in just 10 minutes on the court.

Record-Breaking Potential

On October 21, Dabone will turn 14. If he intérieur Baloncesto statements prior to May, he will become the youngest player to ever participate in the Endesa League. The current record holder is Bassala Bagayoko, who debuted at 14 years and 7 months with Fuenlabrada. The second-youngest is Ricky Rubio.

Did you know?

• Dabone was born in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, on October 21, 2008.
• He was discovered by a scout from FC Barcelona while playing in a tournament in his home country.
• Dabone joined FC Barcelona’s youth system in 2019, where he has been developing his skills.

Looking Ahead

While coaches and fans alike are excited about Dabone’s potential, they emphasize the importance of not rushing his development. As Peñarroya stated, “We must be cautious and not put too much pressure on him. We want to help him grow both as a player and as a person.”
