🌟 Great Success at West Ham United's South Asian Festival 🌟
We are thrilled to share the fantastic news that our U9 team from SMART SPORT FC recently participated in the South Asian Festival organized by West Ham United. The event featured six intense 10-minute matches, and our young athletes showcased their skills, determination, and team spirit throughout the day.
The results of the tournament were as follows: we won two games, drew one game, and unfortunately lost three games. However, the overall experience was incredibly positive for all the kids involved. They had a blast and gained valuable insights from the coaches and scouts present at the event.
We would like to extend a special shoutout to Coaches Usman, Imad, Sultan, and Zakariyah. Their expertise and dedication played a vital role in preparing our team for this event, and their efforts did not go unnoticed.
We are proud to share that our team received great feedback from the West Ham Academy coaches. Additionally, West Ham United's coaches and scouts were present to identify potential players from each age group for the National Emerging Talent Festival in Loughborough. This recognition and opportunity are a testament to the talent and hard work displayed by our young athletes. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Rashid Abba for his continuous support and mentoring, contributing to the success of our club.
Coach Zakariyah expressed his excitement about the event, saying, "The kids did extremely well, even after a full day at school and long journey from South London. We competed with the other teams, and I'm proud of their performance today. Looking forward to the next season, especially for the four players who played up an age group. Hopefully, we'll have more events like this in the future."
We are incredibly proud of all the kids who participated and represented SMART SPORT FC at the South Asian Festival. Their hard work, resilience, and passion for the game have been truly inspiring. We look forward to future events where our young talents can continue to shine and excel.
