A former attendee of the famous Clairefontaine academy, Obertan began his professional career playing for Bordeaux in France.

Obertan has represented his country at under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-21 level but is yet to earn his senior debut.
Obertan was born in Pantin, France and began his career playing for his local club Paris-Pantin before moving to a higher level joining Paris FC in 2002. After spending a year there, he did what most youths at Paris FC often do and joined Paris-Saint Germain. Following another year of training, he moved to the famed Clairefontaine academy in order to further his development. It was here where he was first spotted by Bordeaux scouts and after one year at Clairefontaine, he moved to Bordeaux to begin training with them.
