I can't wait to go there and face the other quality teams taking part. It will be an amazing experience and I'll get to meet people from different backgrounds, races and religions.
I saw a poster advertising trials for the team in the Stonham supported housing service where I live and thought I would give it a go. I made it through all the trials where the squad was whittled down to the final eight players. Hearing I'd been chosen for the final squad was one of the best moments of my life.
Football is a really positive part of my life. I try to keep as fit as possible so that I can play well when I'm out on the pitch. I train twice a week but go running pretty much every day. Being involved in sport is a great way of making friends.
I would love a career in football, whether it be playing or coaching.
