Guinea-Bissau Ansu Fati is a professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger, notably for Barcelona and currently on loan at Monaco, establishing himself as a significant talent in European football.
CUPRA and Ansu Fati partnered to send a message of optimism for 2021. Ansu Fati became an ambassador for Cupra, the Spanish motor company, to boost the brand's international recognition. He was the second FC Barcelona player to become a CUPRA ambassador.
Anssumane “Ansu” Fati Vieira was born on October 31, 2002, in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau. He relocated to Seville, Spain, with his family at the age of five. His football journey began with local side Herrera before joining Sevilla’s youth teams. In 2012, at the age of ten, Fati transitioned to Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy, following in his older brother’s footsteps.
Fati signed his first professional contract with Barcelona on July 24, 2019. He made his first-team debut and La Liga debut on August 25, 2019, at 16 years and 298 days old, becoming the club’s second-youngest debutant. On August 31, 2019, he scored his first professional goal, making him Barcelona’s youngest-ever goalscorer and the third-youngest in La Liga history. He continued to set records, becoming the youngest player in La Liga to score and assist in a single match on September 14, 2019, and the youngest goalscorer in UEFA Champions League history on December 10, 2019, at 17 years and 40 days. In February 2020, he became the youngest player to score a brace in La Liga. For the 2020–21 season, Fati was officially promoted to the first team and was named La Liga Player of the Month for September 2020. He sustained a significant knee injury in November 2020, which sidelined him for nine months.
Upon his return for the 2021–22 season, Fati inherited the number 10 shirt from Lionel Messi, signifying his importance to the team. He made his comeback appearance after 323 days, scoring within minutes of coming on. Loan spells followed, first with Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion in September 2023, where he scored his first Europa League goal, and then to Ligue 1 club Monaco in July 2025. He made an immediate impact at Monaco, scoring on his debut in a UEFA Champions League match. Fati has also represented Spain internationally, earning his first senior cap in September 2020 and becoming the national team’s youngest-ever goalscorer. He was part of Spain’s 2022 FIFA World Cup squad and contributed to their UEFA Nations League victory in 2023.
