After 3 years with my brother Tony El Mir. Crazy how life brings people to your life and they become family. Habibi❤️

20 years now living here. You’re welcome, Finland! 🇫🇮

I didn’t know what to expect when I first moved here. Everything felt so strange to me. Clean, calm, actually way too quiet. The language felt impossible to learn.

Then the first winter came.

All the reasons to get depressed. Not the cold, no. Not even the snow or the rain. It was just too dark for my taste. And too long. Neighbours and people in general kept their distance. It was really another reality compared to Albania.

But I was not sad. I was not depressed. I was not tired.

I learned the language. Then I started to understand people better. I made friends. I worked. I got used to the winter darkness.

There is a superpower in those of us who decide to start from zero in another place. It is called **love for life**.

It’s a challenge with yourself that you don’t necessarily need to face when you are living in your own country.

We sometimes see people who come to live here as if they are somehow less than we are. We are mistaken. We forget about the superpower they carry.

Each one brings a big luggage of life experience. A desire to be part of society. A goal. A dream. A huge amount of love and appreciation. They want a chance. And, yes, some curiosity about what is luggage carrying on.

For now, my soul is calm.

I am very Finnish, just as I am very Albanian. I love it here. ❤️🇫🇮🇦🇱

20 years have passed, and I’m eager to see what the next 20 will bring.

Maybe that is the real beauty of starting from zero: one day you look back and realise that the strange place you once arrived in has slowly become home.

**Kiitos, Finland. Here’s to the next 20.** ❤️

2010. One team. Division 5. Just a place where anyone could play and belong.

It became so much more. A family. A community of amazing people from all over the world.

Today… we made history. 1D B.

No perfect conditions. Just friendship, heart, and the will to fight together.

I’m beyond proud.
Today, we are champions. 🏆

Big thanks to .coach for the support this season.

"Beyond the court, Its a family!

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being part of a working group of professionals where we shared our experiences and ideas on how to better engage multicultural girls in sport — and especially in football. The project, *Her Team Her Future*, is coordinated by the Louhento Foundation and funded by the UEFA Foundation.

One important perspective I wanted to highlight in our discussions was this: as professionals and coaches, we often view the challenge from only one angle. Instead of focusing solely on what keeps these girls away from sport, we should also reflect on how prepared we are to create welcoming, accessible pathways from our side. The responsibility does not lie only with them — it lies with us as well.

Multiculturalism is too often seen as a challenge, when in fact it should be embraced and experienced as a richness. Diversity brings new perspectives, new strengths, and new opportunities for growth — both on and off the pitch.

There is still much work to be done in our societies. And it is important to remember: change always starts with us.

Thank you to Louhento Foundation and Palloliitto for the invitation and for creating space for such important conversations.

> **Happy New Year 2025 🤍**
> I’m deeply grateful for everyone I had the chance to meet, see, and spend time with this year. Each moment, conversation, and shared laugh made this year truly special for me.
> As we step into a new year, I hope we can all try to be a little kinder, a little more open-minded, and a little more understanding with one another. Even the smallest effort from each of us can make a meaningful difference.

Ps: dont forget to be safe today

Happy Albanian independence day!

Saturday I played my first official game in two years. To be honest, I felt lost on the court, and I didn’t help the team as much as I wanted to. We ended up losing the game, and that didn’t feel great either.

But there was something really positive in all of it: my teammates. They accepted me, supported me, and genuinely enjoyed having me there, even though I wasn’t at my best. That meant more than the score.

I hope everyone gets to experience a team like that — a place where you feel embraced, valued, and welcomed just for being you.

Ps: Today back to practice

I was born in Albania in 1980, in a time when the country stood completely isolated from the rest of the world. Under communism, life outside our borders was a mystery. Yet in that small, closed world, I remember feeling happy. Children often do—we accept life as it is. What I didn’t see were the silent battles my parents fought. They carried the weight of their limitations quietly, shielding me from worries I was far too young to face. Their strength lived in their silence.

Then came 1991. The regime collapsed, and suddenly the world rushed in—along with poverty, uncertainty, and a new, overwhelming freedom. I was old enough to understand that things were hard, old enough to see the worry in my parents’ eyes, even if they still tried to hide it. Reality had stepped close, and it no longer asked for permission.

And yet… even in those difficult years, I was never alone. I was surrounded by a whole village of adults—cousins, neighbors, friends’ parents—people who held one another up. Society was woven together tightly, and that web carried all of us. From them I learned a truth that has shaped my entire life: **when a community stands together, children are never left to face the world alone.**

Now, as a father of two sons, I hold that truth close. I want them to grow up wrapped in the same kind of support—an environment where many adults walk beside them, guide them, believe in them. Because raising children is never the work of one parent or one family. It is the work of all of us.

As someone who works with children and young people, this isn’t just a belief—it’s my everyday mission. Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, valued. Every child deserves adults who show up.

On this International Day of the Rights of the Child, my heart returns to a simple message I once read painted on a wall in a Finnish neighborhood:

**“We have a lot of kids, but none of them is extra.”**

There is no child we can afford to overlook. No life we can afford to treat as less important.

Every child counts. And every child deserves a world that proves it—every single day.
