Life Journey

Olivier Giroud was born on September 30, 1986, in a small town in south-eastern France. Football had always been a passion for him since he was a kid, and his older brother, Romain, played for local clubs. Romain would provide essential advice to his younger brother, but what came as a major setback was when he let go of his dream to become a footballer and studied to become a nutritionist.

His reversal had a huge impact on Olivier’s psyche and he somehow managed to get enrolled at the Olympique Club de Forges, a nearby club. As a result of his family’s move to a small village called Forges, he became involved with the club. In the six years that followed, Olivier worked at honing his skills until by the time he was a teenager, he was a competitive player waiting to get a chance to play in bigger tournaments.

Having been abandoned by his brothers months previously, Olivier’s performance was greatly impacted by being very low on confidence player at the age of 13. He spent another five years in the youth academy of the club but was never considered a strong enough player to play in the big leagues. The club’s reserve team, which was set to compete in the Championnat de France Amateur 2, one of the lowest levels in French soccer, was named just before the 2005-06 season.

Olivier was determined to leave his mark on the team management, so he scored 15 goals in 15 matches that he played in over the next seven years. At last, it was in March 2006 that Grenoble’s senior management called him into the first team.

In 2011, Olivier Giroud married Jennifer, his long-time girlfriend, and gave birth to a daughter named Jade in 2011. In addition to being a catholic, he is also highly religious. The right arm of his body is tattooed with a psalm from the Bible. Additionally, he has been the center of controversy quite a few times and has been accused of cheating on his wife with a model named Celia Kay, for which he issued a public apology. His later claims of having extramarital affairs were denied.

His car brands include Audi, Rolls Royce, Citrogen, and others. In addition to the Mercedes C class coupe, he owns a Mercedes E class, a Mercedes S class, and an Audi S5.

Puma has renewed Olivier Giroud’s sponsorship agreement with the Arsenal striker.

Puma first partnered with Giroud in 2009, and the extended deal will see him continue to wear the Puma boots for the foreseeable future. The Arsenal striker will wear the Puma evoSpeed 1 FG during this season’s Premier League campaign.

“I have worn Puma Speed boots since 2009 and they have always given me great confidence to perform to my potential,” Giroud said. Signing an international contract with Puma is another great and positive step in my career. It was a pleasure working with them in France and I am eager to continue with them in the future.

“Olivier Giroud is a gifted and intelligent striker, and it’s wonderful to have him in our global player portfolio,” says Puma’s senior head of global sports marketing Christian Voigt. We have believed that Olivier is a key asset for us throughout the past season and since his move to a top English club. Especially since he is such a pleasant person and we have enjoyed working with him these past few years, we are delighted about his progress. He has been an integral part of our partnership for many years.”
