Meet Keyne, Lamine Yamal's 3-Year-Old Brother Captivating Fans at the World Cup

Who is Keyne, Lamine Yamal's Young Brother?

Keyne, the 3-year-old brother of Lamine Yamal, is becoming a star off the pitch during the World Cup. Though he's just a toddler, his appearances in the stands have grabbed attention and made him a viral sensation among fans watching the tournament.

A New Kind of Star in the Yamal Family

Born in September 2022, Keyne shares a strong bond with Lamine despite being half-brothers—they have the same mother but different fathers. Keyne has been present for nearly all of Barcelona’s matches and even appeared at the 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony supporting Lamine. Spanish fans have warmly cheered for the youngster whenever cameras catch him celebrating or waving from the sidelines.

“I'm moved when I see my little brother this happy, as well as seeing my mum and friends living the life they always dreamed of,” Lamine said after Spain's World Cup victory over Austria.

Keyne’s Viral Moments During the World Cup

• During Spain’s win against Austria in the Round of 32, Keyne was caught on camera enthusiastically cheering for Lamine and the team.
• In the quarterfinal match versus Belgium, Lamine laughed heartily upon spotting his little brother on the big screen, creating a touching scene.
• Off the field, Keyne has also gained attention through social media clips showing the brothers dancing together and enjoying their time.

The Future for Keyne

At only three years old, Keyne’s path is still wide open. Whether he will follow Lamine into soccer stardom remains uncertain, but his early fame during the World Cup is undeniable. Both Lamine and their mother often share moments featuring Keyne on social media, adding to his growing popularity.

We think that with such a supportive family and a football star as an older brother, Keyne might one day step onto the pitch himself—but for now, he’s winning hearts from the stands.
