Wembanyama Stars in Houston Football Cameo Wearing PSG Shirt

His viral footage spotlights a growing multi‑sport profile as he trains with Hakeem Olajuwon after signing a long Spurs extension.

Overview

  • Videos from a friendly at Houston’s Katy Sports Complex show Victor Wembanyama wearing a Paris Saint‑Germain shirt and performing technical football moves that spread widely on social media.
  • French paper Le Parisien reported Wembanyama scored twice and celebrated one goal with Kylian Mbappé’s trademark pose but those scoring details rest mainly on that report and social posts.
  • The appearance came days after Wembanyama signed a reported five‑year contract extension with the San Antonio Spurs worth roughly €220 million and while he is in Houston for basketball work.
  • He is training for a second season with Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon as he prepares to rejoin France’s national basketball team for two friendlies against Serbia ahead of World Cup qualifying.
  • The cameo builds on a known football interest—he played a friendly in Tokyo last summer and attended the 2026 World Cup final—and shows how short video clips now shape athlete storytelling and fan reaction.
