BKT — a leading manufacturer of Off-Highway tires and Title Sponsor of Ligue 2 BKT — is proud to celebrate the first Rookie of the Month award of the season. This recognition, which highlights the most promising young talents in the league, has been awarded to Paris FC’s standout goalkeeper, Obed Nkambadio, underlining BKT’s dedication to the growth of the next generation.

CERTIFIED PARIS: THE RISE OF NKAMBADIO

Born in Paris on February 7, 2003, Obed Nkambadio honed his skills in the city’s grassroots clubs before signing with Paris FC at the age of 16. His professional journey reached a milestone on September 30, 2023, when he made his debut in a 2–2 draw against Annecy. Since then, he has become a fan favorite at the historic Stade Charléty, a trajectory bolstered by his recent Olympic silver medal won with Thierry Henry’s France U23 squad.

ELITE PERFORMANCE IN LIGUE 2 BKT

As the second youngest goalkeeper in the league, Nkambadio is already proving he belongs at the top. His 2024/25 season stats are elite: he currently holds the highest number of clean sheets and maintains the second-highest shot-save percentage among goalkeepers with the most minutes played. His dominance between the posts has made him the undisputed choice for the season’s inaugural award.

With the first Rookie of the Month officially crowned, all eyes are on the pitch to see which young star will be the next to leave their mark on Ligue 2 BKT.
