Eduardo Celmi Camavinga (born 10 November 2002) is a professional footballer who plays for La Liga club Real Madrid and the France national team. His usual positions are central or defensive midfielder[4] and left-back.[5][6]
Camavinga began his career in Ligue 1 with Rennes, making his senior debut at the age of 16, and quickly established himself as a regular first-team player. In 2021, he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of €31 million, and over the following seasons, he helped the club win two La Liga–Champions League doubles in 2022 and 2024.
Born in Angola, to Congolese refugees, Camavinga moved to France at a young age, eventually representing the country at under-21 level. He made his first senior appearance for the France national team in 2020 at the age of 17, becoming the nation's youngest debutant in over a century. He was part of the French squad that finished runners-up at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
