Personal Statement
I have been playing futbol (American Soccer) for the past 11 years of my life. Starting out at the FC Barcelona Academy in Cairo, Egypt and having just joined my school’s (The International School Of Chouiefat) Varsity team. I also, currently play at a local club that I have been playing at for 3 years. During that time I accomplished traveling twice to Dubai once with FCB Academy as part of their “elite” team called “The Selection” where we also traveled to Barcelona, Spain, while playing with my school and being a part of their JV (Junior Varsity). At my Dubai trip, with my school, we were able to beat everyone including having played Jordan in the final (who were the 5x reigning champion) 1-0. With my local club, called “Aeneiba”, we were able to qualify for the super cup 3 years in a row and just this year fell short of grabbing the title by 2 points. I have learned a lot from these experiences, and the top one being experience itself. I remember being shy and afraid in my first game playing away traveling with The Selection, but later on the tournament, i learned to thrive under away pressure and thrive from home support. I love the game and aspire to raise my game to the next level by finding a team to play for in the States and continue my passion while also be submerged in the American Futbol culture.
