Lyon
Umtiti was included in a Lyon squad for the first time on 16 August 2011, remaining an unused substitute as they defeated Rubin Kazan 3–1 in the Champions League play-off round first leg. He made his professional debut on 8 January 2012, playing the entire match in a 3–1 victory over local rivals Lyon-Duchère in a Coupe de France game. Six days later, he made his Ligue 1 debut in a 1–0 away defeat against Montpellier, playing the full game. He made a total of 18 appearances in all competitions in his first season.
In the 2012–13 season, he became a more regular member of the Lyon first team. On 12 January 2013, against Troyes in a 2–1 away win, he scored his first career goal. He finished the season with 32 appearances in all competitions and two goals.
At the end of the 2015–16 season he was named as the "Best Player of the Season" by Lyon fans, ahead of Alexandre Lacazette.
Barcelona
On 30 June 2016, Umtiti signed for Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona for a fee of €25 million. On 17 August, Umtiti made his first appearance for Barcelona in the second leg of the 2016 Supercopa de España which Barcelona won 3–0 versus Sevilla and lifted the trophy. He scored his first goal for the club on 4 March 2017 against Celta de Vigo which Barcelona won 5–0.
Youth
Umtiti is a France youth international, having represented his nation from under-17 to under-21 levels. He was an integral member of the team that won France's first ever FIFA U-20 World Cup. He played in almost every game but missed the final against Uruguay due to a red card received in the semi-final against Ghana.
Senior
Umtiti was born and spent his first two years in the Cameroonian city of Yaoundé. The Fédération Camerounaise de Football and former international Roger Milla met his advisors in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to represent their team.
Umtiti, who was uncapped at senior level, was selected by France national team manager Didier Deschamps to be part of his Euro 2016 squad following an injury to fellow centre-back Jérémy Mathieu. Umtiti made his senior debut on 3 July by playing every minute of the quarter-final against Iceland at the Stade de France, replacing the suspended Adil Rami. He became the first outfield player since Gabriel De Michèle at the 1966 FIFA World Cup to win his first cap for France by appearing in the finals of a major tournament and was accurate with all 77 of his passes during the match, which France won 5–2.
On 13 June 2017, Umtiti scored his first France goal, equalising against England in an eventual 3–2 victory for Les Bleus.
