Being part of this program has been an experience I’ll never forget.

Each of you has left a mark on me: through your dedication, your passion, your warmth, and the way you pass on values that go far beyond football.
I feel truly lucky to have spent this past month with you all—for everything I’ve learned both on and off the pitch, and for the moments that will stay with me forever: the talks, the laughs, the training sessions, the reflections, and every little detail that makes VIA so special.
Thank you for believing in me, for opening your doors, and for allowing me to be part of something so real and transformative. I leave with a full heart, new friendships, and many lessons.”
