Edmond Ntiamoah

Early years

Born in Swedru Ghana N'Tiamoah moved to France with his family while he was still at a young age and since then he also holds a French passport. He played his youth football with local club Mulhouse advancing regularly towards their first team, who played in the French second-tier until they suffered relegation in the 1998–99 season. A financial crisis followed and the club was bankrupted in 1999. The player then left the club.

Basel

N'Tiamoah then moved to FC Basel's youth department in Switzerland in 1999 and here he started his professional career. He advanced to Basel's first team during the winter break of their 1999–2000 season under head coach Christian Gross. After playing in nine test games N'Tiamoah played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game in the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise on 12 March 2000 as Basel played a goalless draw with Lausanne-Sport. He scored his first goal for his team in the Swiss Cup on 12 April. But his goal could not help the team, as Basel were defeated 3–2 by the same opponent Lausanne-Sport. Basel played a relatively good Championship round and the team finished the season in third position. N'Tiamoah came to 12 appearances, mainly as substitute, in the 14 league games. In their following season, N'Tiamoah was again only receiving playing time as substitute and so during the second half of the season he was loaned out to SR Delémont. As he returned for the 2001–02 season, also due to injuries,…

After finishing school, aged 15, N'Tiamoah successfully completed his apprenticeship as book-keeper in Mulhouse, before he became footballer. His sister Brigitte is active in athletics and as sprinter represented France during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. N'Tiamoah is married and the couple have a son and a daughter and live in central Switzerland. After his football career N'Tiamoah applied for a job as van driver for the confectionery firm Bachmann. In the meantime he has risen to become their logistics manager.
