Marvin José Anieboh Pallaruelo (born 26 August 1997), known as Marvin in Spain, is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Segunda Federación club CD Illescas. Born and raised in Spain to a Nigerian father and an Equatorial Guinean mother, he represents Equatorial Guinea internationally.

Early life[edit]

Anieboh was born in Madrid to a Nigerian Igbo father and an Equatorial Guinean mother.[1] He is of Spanish descent through his maternal grandfather and of Bubi descent through his maternal grandmother.

Club career[edit]

After representing AD Alcorcón, Getafe CF and CF Fuenlabrada as a youth, Anieboh made his senior debut for the latter's B-team during the 2016–17 season, in the regional leagues. On 24 June 2017, he was loaned to Tercera División side CD Los Yébenes San Bruno for one year.[2]

On 22 August 2018, Anieboh signed for fellow fourth division side RCD Carabanchel.[3] Ahead of the 2018–19 campaign, he signed for another reserve team, AD Alcorcón B also in division four.

Anieboh made his first team debut for Alkor on 17 December 2019, starting in a 0–1 away loss against CP Cacereño, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4]

International career[edit]

Due to his background, Anieboh was eligible to play internationally for Spain, Nigeria or Equatorial Guinea. After representing the latter's under–20s in 2015,[5] he received his first senior call in October 2016 for a friendly match against Lebanon,[6] but he did not play.

Anieboh returned to the Equatorial Guinean squad in 2019 and made his debut on 19 November that year, in a 0–1 loss to Tunisia at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification Group J.
