Summary

I’m very passionate about Both soccer and futsal, I played soccer and futsal ever since I was U6 from unorganized futsal/ soccer in Egypt to an academy player (equivalent to MLS Youth) until I came to the states in 2007, I then played high school and semi-pro with C’ville Fc. I’m dedicated to giving back to the community through coaching and leadership. Having been shaped by incredible coaches during my journey, I’m focused on building a competitive futsal program that support young athletes—not just in developing their skills, but in growing as individuals. About three years ago, I started Futsal United from scratch, creating a program that fosters a love for the game while prioritizing player development. My goal is to expand the reach of futsal in our community and use my experience to inspire and empower the next generation.
