STARS ABROAD Olunga, Ronaldo, Benzema nominated for inaugural Best Middle East Player of the year award
Michael Olunga is set to compete for the inagural Middle East Player of the Year award against Cristiano Ronaldo, Riyad Mahrez, Karim Benzema and seven other players.
“We also want to provide an opportunity to educate the general public on freestyle football and what it is ‘cause it is a young sport. Many don’t know about it and what it entails, so we think by doing the event, it will create some opportunities and awareness for people in Kenya and East Africa to know that it exists.
I believe there is hidden talent in East Africa and Africa that can be given the opportunity to become professional freestyle footballers or even a World Championship. We need to find those people and I think doing that event here will create that opportunity cause people will be now more educated and understand what the sport is about.”
Freestyle Football is, put simply, the art of doing tricks with a football. Anyone scratching the surface, however, will soon discover that it is way more: for freestylers today, the discipline is an art form, a sport, and a lifestyle.
The World Freestyle Football Association is the world governing body for the sport of Freestyle Football: its main mission is to grow awareness of, and participation in, Freestyle Football worldwide.
