Get Misha to Gothia

Misha Abarder - Gothia Cup 2026

Greetings and salutations,

We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to share the story of a remarkable young athlete whose journey has already made history— and who now stands on the brink of an extraordinary opportunity.

Our daughter, Misha Abarder, has been selected as part of Camps Bay Football Clubs's U16 Girls' Team at the Gothia Cup 2026 in Sweden— the world's largest and most prestigious youth football tournament. At just 13 years old, Misha is the youngest player chosen for the squad, a testament to her grit, talent, and unwavering commitment to the game.

Misha began playing football at the age of three, and for the past seven years, she has competed in boys teams and boys leagues— often as the only girl on the pitch. Her resilience and leadership have shone through:

• She has captained teams at both club and school level
• In 2024, she was selected as a centre back for the Metro Central Girls' District U13 side
• She was named Player of the Year at Golden Grove Primary...
