Abdullah Qazi '21 Recruiting Profile

For as long as I can remember, I have been playing soccer like my life depended on it and for the past 8 years, I’ve put all my heart into it by playing for my school as well as locally in my city.

I’ve recently joined a local soccer academy which is coached by our retired national soccer coach, Sir Shakur. I have not only played soccer on a provincial/district level but have also won numerous matches on different occasions followed by several best player certificates and awards. As grateful as I am for all of this, I am still training everyday to achieve more. I have made it a part of my routine to train daily and play 11 side matches weekly.

As I have already mentioned, I play for the soccer team of our A Levels, and we won the yearly Intra-Regional Soccer Tournament.

Other than that, I have also won many local tournaments for swimming and since cricket is a sport so well recognized in our country, one cannot go without playing it because of which I can do great at cricket also. With the physique I had since childhood, I also had the opportunity to not only participate but also win many track races in my earlier days of school.

Since my childhood i have been playing soccer with people aged much older than me since same aged category football is not privileged in my country and hence up to date I still am.

Also, after the time of Covid-19, many children suffered from losing all their training and skills in soccer for which I set up a  soccer training camp for all children under the age of 14 in which many children were from poor financial backgrounds for which my program was free of cost.(video of my camp posted in the video section of my profile).

As is evident, I am very fond of soccer which is not very recognized or rather supported in our country the way it should be and it robs me of the opportunity to utilize my skills to the fullest. I want to eventually have a career that of a soccer player and I believe that given the opportunity, I’ll make great achievements for any college and will work the hardest to try and give that college the best player there ever will be. Therefore, US college soccer can be my gateway to become a professional player which will definitely be all my dreams coming true at once.
