- 2023 Highlights
Personal Statement
My name is Anton Fannar, and I am an 18-year-old central defender and a right back from Iceland graduating in May 2023
My goal is to develop both my soccer and academic careers at a school that is competitive in both categories. Among my strengths are my speed(fastest on my team) passing ability, especially under pressure, and overall defending abilities, I can play on both sides as a central defender and also as a defensive midfielder or a right back. I have some international playing experience playing in tournaments in Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands. My father and grandfather both played for the Icelandic national team. At the moment I am studying at the Commercial College of Iceland and a couple of times per week after school I work at Battar a private soccer training facility emphasizing on improving player's passing skills(https://battar.is/)
I was the captain of the U-19 team in Breidablik in Iceland, but as a captain I was the U-17 Icelandic Champion and the runner-up in the U-17 Cup. I just changed teams this spring to play at a higher level even though I can play one more year at youth level I wanted to develop more as a player. I am a hard worker and I do well in school and I always try to be positive. I enjoy spending time with my dog Lisa and with my friends, family and teammates.
