The support of the families is pivotal in the careers of athletes. One such talented superstar Kylian Mbappe is making strides with the unwavering support of his family. Behind the extraordinary talent of Mbappe stands a strong and determined woman, Fayza Lamari.

All she wants to see is the careers of her sons flourish, and she can go to great lengths to protect them from criticism. The article intends to shed more light on Fayza Lamari.
Fayza Lamari: A supermom and super-agent
Fayza Lamari is the name that came to prominence last year. A stubborn dealmaker who acted in the interest of her son landed a blockbuster contract for her son from PSG. Lamari looks after the business side for Kylian and doesn’t compromise on anything. And Chelsea was the first club to experience it in 2012. After Chelsea asked Kylian Mbappe to come after improving off-the-ball movements, Lamari responded he won’t come back again.
She stubbornly told the club’s scouts to sign him in 2012 itself as it was their last chance. And why not! Lamari was confident of the talents her son possessed. So, let’s know more about Fayza Lamari. Fayza Lamari was born on September 17, 1974, in Bondy, France, to Algerian parents Mohand Said Lamari and Saliha Ait-Abbas. She was a professional handball player. She played for the local side AS Bondy from around the 1990s to 2001.
Fayza also represented the French national handball team. The French-Algerian national is a housewife, a media figure, and a businesswoman. She represents her sons, Kylian and Ethan Mbappe as a soccer agent. The 48-year-old started her agency and wants to acquire more soccer players as her clients. French starlet Rayan Cherki is reportedly her third client after her two sons.
Fayza Lamari is president of KEWFJ and Saziles companies, with a turnover of around $14 million, and her net worth stands between $1 million to $5 million. KEWFJ’s name represents her family members: Kylian, Ethan, Wilfried, Fayza, and Jires.
