Yes, you and I know he is one of the most gifted soccer players to have come out of the MLS.

However, not many football fans have read Alphonso Davies’ Biography, which is quite interesting. Now, without further ado, let’s begin.

Alphonso Davies Childhood Story:

For Biography starters, Alphonso Boyle Davies was born on the 2nd day of November 2000 to his mother, Victoria Davies, and father, Debeah Davies, at the popular Buduburam refugee camp in Ghana.

He is the first child and son out of three children born to Victoria and Debeah.

Yes, you heard us right! Alphonso was born in a Ghanaian refugee camp, meaning he is miles away from being a Ghanaian national.

Truth be told!, he was originally meant to be a Librarian national. And did you know?… Alphonso Davies’ parents fled from Liberia (the West African country) in 1999 after the second Liberian civil war broke out.

Not just his parents but most of Alphonso Davies’ family members travelled hundreds of Miles across West Africa until they eventually found sanctuary at the Buduburam refugee camp near Accra in Ghana, where he was born.

It was at the camp that young Alphonso spent the first four years of his life growing up in a land alien to his family origins.

Alphonso Davies Family Background:

Speaking of Alphonso Davies’ family origins, his parents, without a doubt, are Liberians from a poor family background.

Debeah and Victoria were young couples when the second Liberian War broke out, a development that left them with the option of participating in the war or fleeing.

Fortunately, they choose the latter, and now, both (pictured below) live to appreciate their choice of life rather than the possible annihilation of their family tree.

His parents smile today because took the sensible decision of fleeing war first.

“It was pretty hard to live in Liberia at the time of war because surviving means you have to carry guns to fight. We had no interest in that,”

Recalls Alphonso Davies’ father. On his mum’s part, she also recalls crossing over dead bodies to get food for her family members.

Indeed, such was not the kind of environment they would want to have their children grow up in.

Alphonso Davies Education and Career Buildup:

Alphonso Davies’ family embraced a migration offer to Canada as part of a resettlement program at the time he was five years of age.

They arrived in the country in 2005 and initially settled in Windsor, Ontario.

A year later, the family moved to the city of Edmonton in Alberta. It was in the city that life really got started for Alphonso, who grew up as a happy kid alongside his younger sister Ruth and little-known brother.

He wasn't just growing up happily in Canada but was in the process of becoming a Canadian citizen.
He wasn’t just growing up happily in Canada but was in the process of becoming a Canadian citizen.

In fact, the grass fields of Northmount Elementary in Edmonton are where Alphonso Davies first learned how to play football as a childhood sport. This was where his football destiny began.

As regards his education, Alphonso started attending Mother Theresa’s Catholic school in the same city of Edmonton.

Back then, it was nearly impossible to not notice his natural dribbling skillset and the manner in which he outclassed his peers while playing football at Mother Theresa Catholic School.

Alphonso Davies’ Early Years in Football:

Thanks to Melissa Guzzo – Alphonso’s grade 6 teacher and sports coach at Mother Theresa Catholic school – the football prodigy was enrolled in an after-school initiative for inner-city kids called “The Free Footie Programme.

True to its name, Free Footie was free as it helped Alphonso Davies’ parents, who were not able to raise football fees for other football academies.

The initiative also assisted other inner-city kids who could not afford registration fees or transportation to explore their interests in football.

Alphonso, later on, went on to join the local club, Nicholas Academy. This was followed by a significant 8-year early career with Edmonton Strikers.

Alphonso Davies Biography – The Journey to Success:

In 2015, Alphonso Davies’ parents agreed to a career turning, an offer that would take their first son away from them to play in Vancouver.

By our measurement, it is was approximately 1,159.5 km away (by road) from his family home in Edmonton.

Debeah and Victoria gave Alphonso their blessings and sent him forth to join the Vancouver Whitecaps youth set-up.

The then 14-year-old impressed at the club, such that he became the first youngest player to sign a USL contract at 15 years, 3 months in 2016.

What more?… Alphonso earned a promotion to Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s first team in 2016, made his MLS debut that same year and had subsequent impressive appearances.

At 15 years of age, Alphonso was young and ambitious with just the right character to succeed.

Alphonso Davies Biography – Success Story:

At the peak of Alphonso’s career with Vancouver Whitecaps FC, he was named the club’s Player of the Year 2018 and also received the Whitecaps’ Goal of the Year award.

Thereafter, he bode farewell to the club by scoring two goals in their 2–1 victory over the Portland Timbers. At this time, the young prodigy could feel his destiny calling him from Europe.

Months later, in January 2019, Alphonso began a new season playing for German giants Bayern Munich. He was signed to the club for a record £9.84m fee in 2018.

Ever since the 19-year-old joined the club, he has been rubbing shoulders with superstars – like Robert Lewandowski, Philippe Coutinho, and David Alaba – and has even won his first Bundesliga title with the club. The rest, as they say, is history.

As of 2022, the Speedster, alongside Cyle Larin, Jonathan David, Stephen Eustaquio, etc., has helped Canada qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. This amazing feat came under the leadership of Atiba Hutchinson.

Who is Alphonso Davies’ Girlfriend?… Does he have a Wife and Kid(s)?

Behind the successful Afro-Canadian, there exists a glamorous WAG.

He did really find a perfect match in Jordyn Huitema. Didn't he?

Away from the field of play, Alphonso makes news of his relationship with Canadian-born girlfriend, Jordyn Huitema. Not much is known about when the lovebirds began dating.

However, they have been together long enough to be seen as Canadian Power Soccer couples by the press. This is because Jordyn plays professional football for the French Division 1 Féminine club Paris Saint-Germain and the Canada national team.

Alphonso regularly flies into Paris to spend a good time with his girlfriend Jordyn before returning to Bayern Munich.

They invest enough attention in their budding career, a development that explains why they don’t have a son(s) or daughter(s) outside wedlock.

Notwithstanding, there’s no ruling out the fact that they could take their relationship to another level (marriage) in no time.
