Olinga has a fascinating history with ups and downs. From the youngest scorer in the first division of Spain to the experience of changing six teams in just over a year and a half.

On 18 August 2012, the Cameroonian scored for Málaga against Celta Vigo after a pass from Diego Buonanotte. He was only 16 years and 98 days old.

In a match between Granada and Barcelona on October 8, 2023, Lamine Yamal broke Olinga’s record of 16 years and 87 days.

Asked about the Barcelona youngster, the Cameroonian said he was surprised to score so early in La Liga.

“When he scored, I was surprised. Yamal is doing well, but I didn’t see him as a player who could score at such a young age because of his quality, although I’m happy for him.

When I scored that goal in 2012, I had no idea the record existed, and it wasn’t something I set out to do. I just wanted to make my debut at Malaga and help the team.” – said Fabrice Olingafor Brand.

Also, the 27-year-old forward talked about the breakup, the transfer to “Botoshan” and his experience in Romania.

“The truth is that I feel very bad. Romania was the last thing on my mind, but I was coming off a suspension and that was the only club that offered me a contract. I just wanted to play.

Also, I arrived and the coach who wanted me in the team left after five games, now I’m playing in a position that’s not mine and we’re losing every game… dramatically.” said Fabrice Olinga for the Spanish press.
