In 2015, Mbotto left football to start athletics thanks to his sport teacher. He met Vincent Ledauphin, his current coach. This meeting had a huge impact on his life. Thanks to his coach, Francky started to train seriously. He ran 400m and quickly became successful at the regional level. In 2016, one year after its athletics debut — the Rio Olympic year - he switched to the 800m then ran 1.50 seconds while he was a junior. This time enabled him to be contacted by the Central African Republic athletics federation, to be a part of the delegation of its native country. He made its first national selection during the Olympic games of Rio at the age of 18 years old. Heat 7, lane 4, he finished last in 1.52.89.
