AS Nancy-Lorraine, whose Franco-Congolese wore the colors in 2018-2019, specifies that the tragedy occurred during a match between friends.
Born in the Paris region, Christopher Maboulou revealed himself in Châteauroux (2009-2014) and especially in Bastia (2014-2016).
His career had already been interrupted by heart problems, following a discomfort that arose during training.
In July 2011, he was even declared unfit to play football.
