Timeline

1960

His paternal great-grandfather, Abilio Balboa Arkins, of Cuban and Sierra Leone Creole descent, was mayor of Santa Isabel (renamed Malabo) during the 1960s.

Balboa Arkins' sons were also footballers: Norberto (Javier's paternal grandfather), Armando – both were killed after participating in a failed coup d'état against Francisco Macías Nguema – and Abilio Jr., the most prominent of the three who played with his national team.

Turn, a daughter of Armando, formed a family in Spain with the son of Domènec Balmanya, and they had a son, Israel Balmanya, who was a professional basketball player.

Balboa had another cousin Richard Nguema, a basketball player who played with, amongst others, Real Madrid and the Equatorial Guinea national team.

1985

Javier Ángel Balboa Osa (born 13 May 1985) is a former professional footballer who played as a winger, most notably for Real Madrid and Benfica.

After emerging at Real Madrid's youth system, he could never establish himself in its first team.

2005

Born in Madrid, Balboa arrived at Real Madrid Castilla in the summer of 2005.

He eventually settled down, although he missed a part of their season due to first team duty; he still finished his first year with 32 games and one goal, in Segunda División.

2006

After having toured with the Real Madrid first team in its Austrian tour during the 2006–07 pre-season, Balboa signed a one-year loan deal with Racing de Santander in La Liga in order to gain first team experience, after being told he was not going to be part of the former's plans by manager Fabio Capello.

He was an integral part of the Cantabrian side for the season's duration, scoring in a 2–1 win at RCD Mallorca in the 88th minute, on 16 December 2006.

2007

During the 2007 pre-season he was played as a right and left winger, and did well in several games, scoring against FC Lokomotiv Moscow.

Balboa came on in the second half of the UEFA Champions League home match against Olympiacos F.C. on 24 October 2007 and, during injury time, scored his first goal in the competition and for Real after being set up by Robinho, in a 4–2 group stage home win.

On 19 December, he scored his first goal in the Copa del Rey, in a 1–1 draw against Alicante CF for the fourth round.

The previous month, he had come to blows with teammate Pepe during a training session; he was not called up for Real Madrid's next match, while the Portuguese was.

Balboa made his debut with Equatorial Guinea on 2 June 2007, in a 0–2 loss to Rwanda for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying stage.

2008

In 2008 he signed with Benfica, being loaned several times over his contract and leaving three years later.

On 25 June 2008, Balboa signed a four-year deal with S.L. Benfica for €4 million, as the Portuguese club was managed by Quique Sánchez Flores.

He made 17 competitive appearances in his first season, being ousted from the squad in the second following a wages dispute.

2010

On 28 January 2010, Balboa was loaned to FC Cartagena in the second level until the end of the campaign.

Returning to Benfica, he found himself limited to training with the first team, and subsequently joined Albacete Balompié on a five-month loan.

2011

Balboa was praised by Capello's replacement, Bernd Schuster, upon his return from loan, and his contract was extended until 2011.

On 13 August 2011, Balboa terminated his contract with Benfica.

Also, he appeared in B games against the Region of Murcia and Extremadura in 2007, against Brittany on 2 June 2011 and against French side Issy-les-Moulineaux.

2012

Born and raised in Spain to Equatorial Guinean parents, Balboa capped for the Equatorial Guinea national team at the 2012 and 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

On 21 January 2012, Balboa scored the inaugural goal in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, the game's only as the co-hosts defeated Libya.

2013

Two days later he signed with S.C. Beira-Mar also in Portugal's Primeira Liga, leaving on 21 June 2013 after the Aveiro team's relegation.

2015

On 16 September 2015, after two seasons with G.D. Estoril Praia, Balboa moved to Saudi Arabia after agreeing to a one-year deal with Al-Faisaly FC.

In the 2015 edition of the tournament, also hosted by his country, he won a penalty after being fouled by Gabon's Lloyd Palun, and converted it to open a 2–0 win which put Equatorial Guinea into the quarter-finals.

In the last-eight encounter, against Tunisia, he converted a late penalty to tie the game at 1–1 and eventually take it to extra time, where he scored a free kick to take his country to its first ever semi-final.

Balboa missed the first penalty in the shootout of the third-place playoff lost to the DR Congo, but with three goals was the tournament's joint top scorer alongside four other players.

Balboa came from a notable Equatorial Guinean family.

2017

On 25 January 2017 he moved clubs and countries again, joining Trikala F.C. in the Football League (Greece).
