Franck Ribéry

Franck Ribéry is a French retired footballer, born in Boulogne-sur-Mer in 1983. ¹ A winger, he spent twelve seasons at Bayern Munich, winning the 2013 Champions League and the UEFA Best Player in Europe Award that year, before closing his career at Fiorentina and Salernitana, and won 81 caps for France. ¹ A convert to Islam, he adopted the name Bilal Yusuf Mohammed; no source names a school for him, so his data record leaves his faith as unknown with the conversion documented. ¹²

Ribéry broke through at Metz and, after a short spell at Galatasaray, starred for Marseille before joining Bayern Munich in 2007. ¹ In twelve seasons in Munich he won nine Bundesliga titles and the 2013 Champions League, and was named UEFA Best Player in Europe for 2013. ¹ He left for Fiorentina in 2019, moved to Salernitana in 2021 and retired in 2022. ¹

Between 2006 and 2014 Ribéry won 81 caps for France, playing at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups and at Euro 2008 and Euro 2012. ¹

The English article's personal life section states that Ribéry is a convert to Islam and that he afterwards adopted the name Bilal Yusuf Mohammed; the French article dates the conversion to February 2006 and gives the same adopted name, and the Arabic article, citing The Independent among its sources, records the same conversion and name. ¹³⁴ Wikidata gives his religion as Islam, generically, and no source read names a school or madhhab for him. ² Lane practice does not record a convert's former faith, and a documented conversion without two sources naming a school leaves his record at unknown, with the conversion documented. ¹
