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.

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

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.

During my workshops in Morocco, we spoke about what it truly means to build inclusive communities through sport. We realized that all of us, in one way or another, use the word inclusion in our daily lives. It has become a familiar term—something we say, something we refer to, something we hope to stand for.
But the real question is: Are we actually ready to be inclusive?

Inclusion is not just about acknowledging differences or repeating the right words. It is not a slogan or a checkbox. Inclusion is action. It is the choices we make, the spaces we open, the voices we listen to, and the courage we show in welcoming others fully.

It is not only speech.
It is something we live, every day.

It starts with us—our awareness, our willingness, and our responsibility to make room for others. When we practice inclusion in our daily lives, in our teams, in our communities, something beautiful happens: the world becomes larger when everyone has a place in it.

This is the challenge and the opportunity we carry forward: to not only believe in inclusion, but to embody it. Every day. Through sport, through community, through the way we choose to show up for one another.

What an amazing experience the Morocco Tool Fair was! I had the chance to connect with inspiring professionals from across Europe and partner countries, all bringing valuable knowledge and experience from the fields of sport and youth work.

I met incredible people and participated in a variety of engaging workshops organized by talented colleagues. One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to be a trainer for the “Tool to Explore” sessions. I delivered three workshops on using sport to build inclusive communities, and the groups were truly fantastic—active, open, and full of positive energy.

A huge thank-you to the organizers and colleagues for the great moments, meaningful exchanges, and unforgettable time!

Eight years ago, our journey with began. Since then, we’ve been blessed to meet incredible people and, hopefully, bring a little joy to the communities. Looking back to that very first summer still brings a smile to my face.

This year, due to regional challenges, we couldn’t visit in person, but our hearts remain with our amazing colleagues who continue working every day to bring more smiles and hope to those they serve.
