Lamine Yamal officially signed a new contract with FC Barcelona extending to 2031. The ceremony and photo session were deliberately delayed until his paternal grandmother Fatima, who emigrated from Morocco decades ago, could attend. He insisted her presence was essential to mark the moment. Yamal stood proudly in traditional Moroccan attire elements—honouring family roots and cultural pride. His grandmother was celebrated as the emotional pillar behind his rise. Barcelona president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco also attended. The No. 10 jersey was ceremonially assigned then. Yamal publicly thanked Fatima, noting he owes her everything. The event emphasized strong family bonds and Moroccan heritage.
