Spotlight on Michel Boni, Brentford's rising star who chose Benin Exclusive Of English nationality, he was also courted by France and Ivory Coast Spotlight on Michel Boni, Brentford's rising star who chose Benin Michel Boni is just 17 years old, and he’s just been called up by Gernot Rohr to join the Benin Cheetahs. An invitation that naturally draws attention to this young player still developing at Brentford. Born in Milton Keynes (England) on March 28, 2008, Michel Boni is a product of two continents and several cultures.
His father is Ivorian, his mother is Beninese. He grew up in England with a French passport. According to Football Insider , France, Ivory Coast, and Benin were all recently vying for the international signature of the young forward.
It was Gernot Rohr , Benin's national team manager, who made the decisive call for the next Cheetahs training camp, with Benin now a 2025 AFCON Round of 16 qualifier . For Michel Boni, this decision isn’t just administrative. It’s deeply personal.
It’s about family. And it reflects the values his parents have instilled in him since childhood, according to his own words on Brentford FC’s official website : My parents come from different countries and cultures, but they share the same values: discipline, hard work, and respect. I think these qualities make me the kind of player who fits in perfectly here (at Brentford).
