Timothy Weah Joins Marseille, Pays Homage to Father’s Legacy with Iconic Cover Recreation

Timothy Weah has officially completed his move to French giants Olympique de Marseille — and marked the occasion in a deeply personal way. The USMNT forward recreated his father George Weah’s legendary 2001 magazine cover, a striking tribute to the Ballon d’Or winner’s legacy in world football.

The photoshoot, which mirrors the bold and stylish look of the original, serves as both a celebration of his career milestone and a nod to the man who inspired his journey. George Weah, now President of Liberia, remains an icon in French football for his time at Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco. Timothy’s gesture not only connects two generations but also signals his intent to make his own mark in Ligue 1.
