Global BC wants to highlight the beautiful game!
Between April 27 and July 19, Asa Rehman will be showcasing up-and-coming soccer players from around B.C.
We will learn about when they started playing, how often they lace up their boots and why they love the game of soccer so much.
We also speak to those who helped shape the game in B.C. and made it what it is today.
The weekly segments will be posted here, so come back each week and check out the up-and-coming talent!
The ‘beautiful game’?
The sport is famous for ‘fake injuries’ and ‘wussy’ players. Yes players get injured at soccer games, but not that many. The real injuries and deaths occur among the fans. Statistically it is more dangerous to be a soccer fan than a player. ( between 1964 to present 1312 deaths occurred at soccer matches)
