Andreas Campollo Esswein (born 26 January 1997) is a professional footballer. Born in Germany, he represents the Philippines internationally.

Career[]

Born in Bruchsal, Germany to a Filipino mother and a German father[1]", Esswein left the SV Waldhof Mannheim youth team, who competed in the U19 Bundesliga in 2015 for Spöck in the sixth division after a transfer to another U19 Bundesliga team never materialized.[2]

After playing for Spöck, which he saw as a short-term way to play regularly, Esswein signed for Global F.C. in the Philippines through fellow Filipino-German player Stephan Schröck.[2]

In 2017, Esswein played for Davao Aguilas F.C. in the professional Philippines Football League, where he made only eleven league appearances due to dengue fever and scored zero goals.[3] After signing for Davao Aguilas F.C. he got a Call-up for the Philippine U23 Nationalteam for an international friendly match against Bahrain in Manama where he made his debut on international level.

Around December 2017 Esswein received an offer from Thailand to play in their Thai League but due to failed terms and negotiations of the contract during the transfer window Esswein ended up being free agent.

SV Waldhof Mannheim[]

Davao Aguilas FC[]

Global FC[]

Return to Global F.C. in January 2020.[4] Esswein and the club announced the succeeded signing in the year of 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic put the Philippines Football League on hold and the management of Global F.C. failed to pay its wages to its staff and players which led to a FIFA ban which again made Esswein a free agent player.
