Professional career and early life

Nestory Irankunda, a senior football player for Adelaide United in the A-League, was born on February 9th, 2006. He was chosen to represent the Socceroos, the Australian national team, in March 2023.

Irankunda is qualified to compete internationally for Tanzania, Burundi, or Australia. He has performed at the international level for the Australia U17 national team.

Nestory Irankunda was selected as a "train-on" player for the Socceroos programme for exhibitions against Ecuador on March 14, 2023, following impressive outings as a substitute for Adelaide.

Bayern Munich interested in signing the wunderkind

According to Nestory Irankunda's coach Carl Veart, international superpowers including Bayern Munich are vying for the services of the Adelaide United star player.

Veart, however, claims that information in rumours that the 17-year-old A-League player had agreed a deal with Bayern was false.

Irankunda is unable to make the move to Europe until February of next year, a month after the transfer period ends, due to FIFA regulations.

The dynamic winger, who received a call-up into the Socceroos team as a train-on player last March, was sold by United, according to Veart, who was careful with his comments.
