Learning from past scandals: Yamal's 18th birthday party comes with strict rules for guests

Lamine Yamal has dazzled the football world with his performances for Barcelona and Spain.

Despite being a prominent figure for two years, it's remarkable that he's only just about to turn 18.

He debuted for Barcelona at just 16 and became a European champion with Spain before his 17th birthday.

He turns 18 on Sunday, and according to Spanish media reports, via Sportal, he is planning a memorable party in Ibiza.

He spent the first part of his break in Italy and Brazil, and before pre-season training begins, he's decided to spend a few days in Ibiza with his family. This Spanish island will be the location of his 18th birthday celebrations, which he plans to mark in a big and unforgettable way.

After all, you only turn 18 once. However, following recent scandals surrounding his love life, Yamal has decided to implement a special rule for the celebration that all guests must respect.

According to Sportal, all those invited to his birthday have been informed that the use of mobile phones and cameras is strictly prohibited. Upon arrival, everyone will have to surrender their phones and any recording or photography devices. Yamal wants his celebration to remain private, preventing any photos or videos from emerging that could compromise him.

He will have professional photographers at the event, but anything published will require his personal approval. Guests will receive the exact location only the day before the party to prevent leaks to the public.

Spanish media report that Yamal has learned his lesson after the whole affair with influencer Fatima Vasquez and has decided to heed advice to keep the celebration strictly private. He has also made it clear that anyone who doesn't agree with the rules is better off not attending. The Ibiza party will begin in the afternoon, and security will be tasked with strictly controlling entry and preventing gatecrashers.
