Learn About Enner Valencia Family Background And Ethnicity

Enner Remberto Valencia Lastra was born in San Lorenzo, Ecuador. His parents are Bolivia Lastra and Remberto Valencia.

Due to their same surname and nationality, people often think that he is the brother of former Manchester United player Antonio Valencia. Antonio once dispelled the rumors, saying his brother’s name was Éder instead.

Enner’s family was poor, so he struggled from an early age. He helped his dad to make money to feed his siblings by selling cow milk on the street. Even after he started his football career, he lacked the money to rent his accommodation.

Enner was always passionate about football and used a ball of rags as he trained daily to improve and develop as a player.

Talking about the experience, he said, “I was always with a ball, or a bottle, or whatever we come across, always trying to get a game going.”

Enner also used to bunk school to play, lying to his parents that he would study.

His extended family includes Peter Valencia (uncle), José Mina Quiñones (brother-in-law), and Juan Guerrero (nephew).
