He is 29 years old, played for FSV Mainz 05 and most recently for Hertha BSC – and he has cancer. Now Jean-Paul Boëtius has to undergo treatment again.

The former Bundesliga professional Jean-Paul Boëtius has to undergo cancer treatment again. The 29-year-old Dutch professional footballer, who played for FSV Mainz 05 and most recently for Hertha BSC but is currently without a club, announced this on Instagram. Even though he once survived the cancer, it had spread to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes, he explained.

“This means that I have to undergo chemotherapy followed by rehabilitation,” he wrote that evening. He is eagerly looking forward to the day when he can play in a full stadium again. “You can do it Bro,” commented former Union professional and Dutch-born Sheraldo Becker.

Boëtius was diagnosed with testicular cancer in September 2022, and four weeks later he had already celebrated his comeback at Hertha.
