The road to become a professional soccer player is NEVER easy!



Rise Africans Newspaper had a luck to chat with a young professional soccer player all the way from Juba in South Sudan. Surprise Amos Sagos Arkangelo was born and raised in Uganda but now found in Juba because its where his family is based.

“Thanks a lot for this wonderful opportunity, my love for soccer started way back when I was a kid in Uganda, I used to watch my uncle playing, people were entertained and praised him a lot saying he is the best. I felt that soccer is something that brings happiness and love to everyone. My breakthrough came one time after getting a chance to play in a tournament and got registered”, he said.

At the age of 21, Surprise has already seen much, he said the dream of becoming a professional soccer player is never easy, lots of hard work and support from the loved ones is really needed.

Asking him about the challenges he is facing as a professional soccer player, he said: “I just need to get connections to see better life and achieve more in my football career. Young professional soccer players must not get overexcited or be big headed, soccer need a humble person because today you can be on a high level and tomorrow you are down, and nobody will care about you”.

Surprise ‘s big dream is to play for under 23 national squad, play in one of the biggest clubs in Africa, Europe or Asia. He said all can be done with God and family support. Rise Africans Newspaper is proud of him and wish him best of luck on his new team Al Huriya FC
