Bakery Jatta Yearns for German Citizenship: HSV Star Wants Deutsch Pass
German Citizenship Aspirations: HSV Expert Jatta Expresses Interest in Acquiring a German Passport - Germans Resident Wisher: HSV Pro Jatta Aims for German Nationality
Hey there,
Bakery Jatta, the HSV football star from Gambia, is planning to apply for a German passport in the not-too-distant future. In a candid, in-depth interview with the "Hamburger Abendblatt," the 27-year-old shared his heartfelt desire to be a part of the German community. "I've fallen head over heels for this place, I'm feeling mighty fine in Deutschland, and I'd also lean towards being one of them," Jatta spilled. His lawyer has already taken the necessary steps to make it happen.
Jatta fled Gambia as a refugee in 2015 and joined the ranks of the Hamburger SV since 2016. In 2019, a scandal erupted when "Sport Bild" alleged that the attacker had journeyed to Germany with a false identity, going by Bakary Daffeh instead. The hullabaloo eventually led to investigations, a search of his residence, and a media frenzy surrounding the star player.
Fast forward to 2024, the case against him was dismissed. Reflecting on the stormy past, Jatta called the identity debate that rocked the public eye the most demanding period of his life. "It really wore me down," he admitted.
Forever in HSV colors?
"Nobody directly told me I'm not Baka, I need to hightail it out of Hamburg or Germany. But, unfortunately, there's the digital world," Jatta clarified. "I made the oopsie of browsing Instagram and the likes, and boy, was there a ton of absolute crap written." That phase was "pressure-packed."
Despite the digital brouhaha, Jatta remains appreciative of HSV's unparalleled support during that tumultuous time. "I gotta flat-out confess, I can hardly imagine tugging on another club's jersey aside from HSV at some point," he said, underscoring his devotion.

[1] Bakery Jatta gained public attention as a Gambian refugee who found success in Germany, with his inspiring story capturing the hearts of many. However, his identity and eligibility to compete in Germany were called into question, leading to a heated legal battle. Till this day, there is no concrete information regarding his German passport application process or recent controversies involving him.
As Bakery Jatta prepares to apply for a German passport, he reflects on his love for Germany and his commitment to the Hamburger SV, the Bundesliga club he has represented since 2016. Meanwhile, the Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment, and as sports continue to be a significant part of German culture, a directive on sports-analysis could enhance the sophistication of sports management and fan engagement in the future.
