From building apps to chasing goals — how the Red Devils shaped my creative journey.
I've been playing football since I was about three years old. From an early age, I dreamed of becoming a professional player. My family supported my passion—they even bought me my first football. By the time I was nine, I was already playing with people in their 20s. Even though I was much younger, they saw my talent and gave me a chance. Sometimes, they'd even argue over who got to have me on their team!
It all started when I was in 3rd grade. One of my close friends kept talking about Manchester United, and his passion made me curious. I decided to watch one of their matches — and just like that, I was hooked. I became addicted to watching Man Utd games. Back in those days, I would go out late into the night just to find a place to watch their matches. I even saved up to buy the jersey, no matter how hard it was to find one in Ethiopia. From that moment, Manchester United became more than a team — it became a part of me.
After moving to Japan, I joined local Ethiopian teams and played with the same passion I had as a kid in Ethiopia. One unforgettable moment came with the Kilimanjaro team, where I was honored as the Top Goal Scorer — my first official recognition. That trophy wasn’t just for goals; it symbolized my journey, dedication, and deep love for football.
After joining the Kilimanjaro team in Japan, I had another unforgettable moment during a futsal tournament. I scored more than 8 goals in just 5 matches, including the winning goal in the final that secured the championship for our team. It was a proud moment that proved how far passion and persistence can take you—even on a new stage, in a new country.
This short video captures one of my favorite warm-up tricks — the freestyle lift-up. It’s something I practiced over the years for fun and flair, especially before matches.
This was the goal that sealed the championship! Scored during the final seconds, it reminds me of why I love football — pure adrenaline and teamwork.
Highlights from the tournament where I earned the Top Scorer title. Every goal in this video represents hustle, anticipation, and sharp finishing.
Even when the weather was rough, I showed up. This video is about commitment — training in the rain, because growth doesn’t wait for sunshine.
I started playing barefoot in dusty fields. Football taught me discipline, teamwork, and confidence — values I carry into every line of code.
As a developer and football lover, I wanted to build something that reflects both worlds — a site that blends design, code, and love for Manchester United.
This site showcases unforgettable moments — goals, rain-soaked trainings, and the hustle. Each story reveals a chapter of growth.
I built this to show what’s possible — whether you're from Ethiopia or Japan, you can chase dreams and build your future.
