There have been many brothers in football. In the past, former Arsenal player Kolo Toure and former Barcelona and Manchester City player Yaya Toure, Gary Neville and Phil Neville, who came from Manchester United's Carrington academy, Rafael da Silva and Fabio da Silva, who came to Manchester United from Brazil, Kevin Prince Botton and Jerome Botton are half-brothers.

If we talk about football brothers who are still active in the world of football, the Bellingham brothers are at the top. Both came from the Birmingham City academy. Jude Bellingham, who is now at Real Madrid, is the eldest and is currently 21 years old. He has shone since moving from Birmingham to Dortmund, and is currently a European champion with Real Madrid and was named La Liga player of the year last year.

Jude Bellingham, who is only 18 years old, has moved from Birmingham to Sunderland. It remains to be seen whether Jude, who plays in midfield and attack, can follow in his brother Jude's footsteps. Many big clubs have been watching Bellingham's younger brother in the early days. He is still only 18 years old, and he has a lot of potential.

The Thuram brothers can be said to have football talent in their blood. Their father is former France, Juventus and Barcelona player, World Cup and European champion defender Lilian Thuram. At that time, hardly anyone knew about Thuram.

Of the children born to Lilian Thuram, Marcus Thuram and Khedran Thuram are currently active in the world of football. Marcus is the eldest. He is four years older than Khefran. They started their training at the Olympique de Neuilly academy and continued at the academy of the Balompie club. The older Marcus, who was about to make his senior debut, joined the French club Sochaux academy in 2014 and the Sochaux reserve team in 2015. He moved to Guingamp in 2017 and joined the German club Moenchengladbach in 2019. He has been playing for Inter Milan since 2023. Marcus is a striker.

Khefran Thuram, like his brother, trained at the Olympique de Neuilly and Balompie club before joining the Monaco academy in 2016. He made his debut for Monaco. Khefran is a central defender. He joined Nice in 2019 and will play until 2024, and is currently at Juventus. If we were to speculate on where he and his brother Marcus differ, apart from where they play and which team they play for, there is another difference: where they were born. Marcus was born in Parma, Italy. In 1997. At the time, his father, Lilian Thuram, was playing for Parma. Khedira was born in the Reggio Emilia region.

Like the Thurams, Lucas Hernandez and Theo Hernandez’s father, Jean-François Hernandez, was also a footballer. He played as a defender. He played for French clubs Toulouse, Sochaux, Marseille, Spanish club Vulcano and Atletico Madrid. However, the brothers did not have a good relationship with their father, Jean-François, as their father abandoned them at a young age, resulting in a cold relationship. Both started out at the academy of the Spanish club Mayada Honda, and then both continued their training at the Atletico Madrid academy. His older brother Lucas plays as a centre-back or left-back, while Theo is a left-back. Both have played for Atletico's reserve team, but Lucas has made his debut for the first team. Theo is currently on loan at Alaves.

Lucas played for Atlético until 2019, before moving to Bayern Munich and joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2023. Theo, who was on loan at Alaves, joined Real Madrid in 2017, but did not feature much, spending the 2018-19 season on loan at Real Sociedad. Since 2019, he has been playing for Asuncion. Lucas was part of the 2018 World Cup-winning France team, and both brothers were part of the 2022 World Cup-winning France team.

Not to be left out are the William brothers. Anaki William and Nico William. They are eight years older and eight years younger, and their careers are very different. They still play for the same team. They came from the Bilbao academy and still play for Bilbao. However, the younger Nico William has already won the European Championship with Spain, and Anaki William, who also played for Spain and the Spanish national team, has become a Ghanaian citizen. While Nico William is now one of the most famous players, Anaki is gradually coming of age at the age of 30.
