ABOUT TAHA

YEAR OF BIRTH: 2010

I’m Taha and I live in Whitby, Wellington, New Zealand. I have played football for 5 years so far and I believe I have the skills to play consistently at a high level. In early December, I flew to Jordan to see family. My auntie’s fiancé was a football coach so he invited me to play for Jordan Soccer Talents Academy for 2 weeks. I was playing with many different players ranging from ages 14 to 17. I also played with some older players that play professionally. I contributed to the team very well and they have invited me to play in a tournament in Sweden in August.
