Sebastian Villaume Otoa (born 13 May 2004) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club Genoa.
Club career
[edit]AaB
[edit]Otoa joined AaB in the summer 2021, after turning down a contract offer at FC Roskilde, where he played U19 before joining AaB. Before that, he had spent three years in F.C. Copenhagen's academy.[2] But his adventure in AaB got off to a rough start, as the tall defender only managed to play one game for AaB's U19 team before a series of leg strain injuries set in. In the spring of 2022, he returned to action for the U19 team, and also played a few reserve team matches.
After several sales in the AaB-squad, Otoa was called up for his first Danish Superliga match on 11 September 2022 against Lyngby Boldklub.[3] 29 minutes into the match, Lars Kramer was injured and Otoa came on for his professional debut.[4][5] On 12 July 2023, Otoa signed a new long-term deal with AaB until June 2027.[6]
Genoa
[edit]On 16 January 2025, Otoa signed with Serie A club Genoa.[7]
In April, on his Serie A debut for Genoa, Otoa received a straight red card after just 21 minutes.[8]
International career
[edit]Otoa was born in Denmark to a Cameroonian father and Danish mother.[9] He was called up to the Denmark U21s for the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[10]
