VANCOUVER, BC – In a global game like soccer, and in professional sports as a whole, there are always players with rags to riches stories. Players who came from nothing to achieve stardom. Players who overcame the odds to give themselves, and their families, a better life.
These are real stories. Important ones, too.
Tony Tchani’s story is a little different. And he’s proud to share it.
Born in Bafang, Cameroon, a small city in the southwest part of the country, Tchani said he had everything he needed growing up – thanks largely to his single mom Marceline.
