Passionate Player

Story:

My name is Ioulia Yiannakis i am from Greece and I and I am 16 years of age i have been playing football for 14-15 years. I live in a very small country is Africa called Malawi and someday hope to win the champions league and balon D’Or

Reason for nomination:

I find football a way of escaping the world because I’m not will not lie a smart person
I train every day and I have done this since I was 5. Football is my passion and I don’t think I will really win or get nominated but I hope people can relate to what I am saying because I try to encourage more people to help me due to the lack of female support here in Malawi there not many football teams and people who are interested in female football. And because my parents don’t really know how to there stuck basically and my teachers don’t really help either I am kinda stuck here in Malawi and hope some people can understand what I am going through and help maybe
