Oyono will make his debut for Spain at the U17 European Championships, losing to France.

More caps for Igor Oyono, the Athletic player signed in the winter market from Villarreal. This time with bitterness at the European Under-17 Championships. The Red and White youth player came on in the 58th minute (his first substitution) to rest Sydney Osazuwa and converted Molebe’s goal in the 1-0 defeat to France. A result that makes their continued participation in the tournament very difficult as they also lost their opening Group D match to Portugal. They need to beat England by more than one goal for France to lose to the Portuguese.

These are the first minutes of the Barakaldo football player at the tournament. He did not play against Portugal. As soon as he entered the field, in the 59th minute, the Athletic striker made it his mission to give La Roja the lead. Bad luck. His teammate Diego Aguado’s low cross narrowly missed.

Oyono’s landing at Lezamu caused controversy and strained relations between Athletic and Villarreal. Ibaigana eventually succeeded in getting the Spanish Football Federation to review the player’s case, a promising 16-year-old forward whose inclusion ultimately led to a breakdown in relations. At first, Villarreal refused to give up the young man from Baracadal, and the Bilbao club had to turn to the federation with a request to include him in the main youth squad.

Thus, Oyono made his debut at the European Championships, being the youngest representative of the Spanish team to take part in the last World Under-17 Championship. This is the only athletic tournament in Cyprus, a country that hosts the tournament from May 20 to June 5, said national coach Hernan Perez. Lezama’s other promises, such as Simon García, Pablo Martinez or Benyat García, are not included.
