Cairo – Sudanhorizon

The Sudanese freestyle football star, Captain Abdullah Emad, revealed the story of the birth of his talent, which began with playing football, which he then abandoned to become a professional in the rare sport of freestyle football, and became a global star.

Captain Abdullah said in an interview with the Sudanhorizon news website that he was influenced by the famous Brazilian star Ronaldinho, and sometimes surpassed him, indicating that the Sudanese government represented by the Ministry of Youth and Sports did not care about freestyle football practitioners at the time, and that the practitioners of this game were organizing tournaments through their own efforts.

Captain Abdullah Emad also predicted the emergence of young Sudanese talents in the sport of freestyle football, which he used to sponsor and supervise before the war in the city of Khartoum.

Regarding his global fame, Abdullah – who currently lives in the Egyptian capital, Cairo – confirmed that he gained this fame after he posted his videos on his social media accounts during the “Corona” period, to encourage the practice of sports from home. He also interacted with the hashtag #CulersAtHome launched by the Spanish club Barcelona, ​​at which time the club picked up Abdullah Emad’s talent and celebrated him through the club’s official account, and published a video clip of him with some of the world’s football stars.

Abdullah said in this video interview that his videos became more famous abroad than at home and that he is fond of this game and practices it without stopping. He has participated in many international competitions and achieved advanced positions in them, then recently moved to the field of arbitration. He currently dreams of establishing a “freestyle” school in Sudan after the war stops.

Abdullah, who is studying mining engineering, believes that controlling the ball requires continuous training and mental skills more than physical skills, noting that football clubs in the world, and Sudan in particular, need them and can provide them with skilled players.
