Fede moved to Spain at a young age from Equatorial Guinea, and raised in Móstoles.[3] Fede joined the youth academy of Atlético Madrid in 2008.[4] In 2012, he played for the under–12 team of the Community of Madrid.[5]
Fede, at the age of 17, was called up to the senior Equatorial Guinea national football team in August 2017.[6] He made his debut on 3 September 2017, starting in a 2-1 friendly loss to Benin. The match was eliminated from FIFA records,[7] as the referee and his assistants referees were from Equatorial Guinea.[8][9] As it was a friendly which besides was not recognized by FIFA, Fede remains eligible to Spain (as a naturalized citizen).
Obama's twin brother, Salomón, is also a footballer and plays for Primera Divisió club UE Santa Coloma and the Equatorial Guinea national team as a forward.[10]
