In a place where dreams of stardom were often confined to the realm of possibility, one teenager stood out. Adeleke Fawaz, a fast rising footballer whose determination and brilliance on the field is making statement.

From an early age, Fawaz showed an unwavering passion for the sport, often practicing late into the evening.

Despite facing countless obstacles and doubts from those around him, Fawaz's love for the game fueled his perseverance. He knew talent alone would never be enough, he continued his secondary school education in the foremost co-educational institute in Osun State, Lanreleke Sports Academy, Ile-Ogbo.

Born and bread in Osogbo where he had his primary school education, his trajectory into 'Future Eagles' shows his determination to rise to stardom from local hopeful to a national prospect.

Fawaz's quality is a motivation for his peers because he excelled where others failed. His journey was not without setbacks, but his resilience only grew stronger. He used each challenge as motivation to push harder, train smarter, and never back down from a difficult situation.

His breakthrough came during Osun Principal's Cup tournament, where he showcased his extraordinary skills: his impeccable ball control, sharp decision-making, and natural ability to read the game, providing a link between defence and attack.

Everyone in the stands couldn’t ignore the 14-year old's brilliance, a born leader elevating the performances of his teammates, following quality tutelage and lifestyle from the reputable academy. His call-up to the national cadet team, is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and undeniable talent. 

It was a moment of triumph not just for him, but for his entire community and institute, who had watched him grow from a hopeful kid with a ball at his feet to a national prospect with a future in the sport. It is the beginning of a new chapter for himself and other teammates who are showing promising future in Morocco despite losing 0-2 to the host's U-17 yesterday.
