Born to a tribal chieftain in the Kasai region of Congo, Pierre Kompany was a talented young footballer who played for the prestigious club Toot-Puissan-Mazembe, as well as a headstrong young man with strong socialist views. He and 206 of his other students were national leaders in the early 1970s.
When Pierre Kompany arrived in Belgium in 1975, he applied for refugee status. It lasted seven years, during which he took whatever job he could to pay rent and food. In 1982, he received his papers. As luck would have it in a country hostile to the former Congolese people, he resettled in Belgium and began working as a taxi driver, working night shifts to pay for his university studies in mechanical engineering.
Not much is known about the father of Vincent Kompany, Pierre Kompany but as an immigrant in Belgium, life wasn’t going to be easy, especially in the 1970s, an era where racism was so much in the west that might affect him and his children.

He enjoyed a successful career as an engineer and married Joseline Fraselle but then he lost his job along the line per a comment made by his son Vincent and that made life really difficult for them but today, they are living the most out of life they have.
Joseline Fraselle, the mother of Vincent Kompany was a union worker from the Ardennes in eastern Belgium. She worked at ORBEM in Brussels and did not like being in the media as she is used to politely refusing interviews.

The marriage of Pierre and Joseline, Vincent Kompany’s parents crashed but we don’t know when they separated and why they separated then they were blessed with two sons who are both professional footballers and a daughter.
