George Weah is the incumbent President of Liberia but before entering into the world of politics he was a professional footballer and played for AC Milan, Chelsea and Manchester City.

USA forward, Timothy Weah, announced his arrival on the world stage when he scored in his country’s opening match of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The game between the USA and Wales finished 1-1 after Welsh captain Gareth Bale equalised from the penalty spot.

Any watching football fans of a particular vintage or ardent followers of global politics would have been forgiven if, on seeing the name of the USA goalscorer, they asked if he could be related to the incumbent President of Liberia and legend of the San Siro, George Weah.

Is USA World Cup 2022 player Timothy Weah related to President of Liberia & ex-AC Milan striker George Weah?
