Shark's Words

Shark describes what has motivated him to keep pushing to help these kids against all odds.

I started SHARK FC because I saw too much raw talent and potential in these young boys just running through the streets with nowhere to channel it, and I believed they deserved a real chance that is the combination of sports and education to able to become somebody in the future.

The happiest moment for me isn’t when they score a goal, but when I see the look of pure, concentrated joy on their faces, completely lost in the game and forgetting any problems they have off the pitch.
