I am a passionate soccer enthusiast with a lifelong dedication to the sport both as a supporter and as an active contributor to grassroots football development. As a proud fan of Arsenal FC, I admire the club’s commitment to attractive, attacking football and its tradition of nurturing young talent. This philosophy resonates deeply with me and has inspired my own journey in the game. Beyond being a fan, I also take pride in owning and managing Sanda United, a community-based soccer team. Through this role, I actively support the growth of local players, create opportunities for youth engagement, and help foster unity through sports. For me, soccer is more than just a hobby—it is a way of life that combines passion, teamwork, and community impact
