Zachs Soccer Dream Campaign

My name is Zach Uriah Du Plessis and while my parents would love to keep me their baby, I am 11 years old. My soccer journey started unexpectedly with me having a dream, a vision of one day playing on a big platform. This vision can be a reality as I have been selected as part of a squad to showcase my talent in Italy.

My parents have always tried to give me all I need and work hard for the things I want. With a dad who is a side line ref "slash" coach at ALL my matches, they need a little help getting me to Italy. Now I know that this will be a challenge but it is one my family and I are willing to take on. 

Being able to go to Italy will not only give me international exposure but also a chance to be scouted and God willing, start my soccer career. The funds for the trip need to be raised by January 2023 and with this I will be fed, trained and tutored should I need to take a few days off school. This opportunity also includes:

1. Soccer matches against Italian club academies, which could be attended by Serie A and Serie B head coaches
2. Training sessions with EUFA Pro licensed coaches
3. Masterclass sessions held with Pro licensed coaches
