START THEIR JOURNEY

From local pitches to the international stage.

Right now, Aziz is living the dream of every young footballer. But like every Socceroo, his journey started with a ball, a local pitch and a love for the game.

Right now, I'm in the USA with my City teammates Mat Leckie and Patrick Beach getting ready for the World Cup. And it's awesome!

Everywhere you look, people are talking about football, playing football and cheering for their teams. Watching it all unfold takes me straight back to being a kid.

Read the full letter

If there was a World Cup on, I'd be outside every chance I got. I'd be practising new skills, playing with my mates and imagining I was scoring the winning goal in a World Cup Final. Honestly, I just loved playing.

I never imagined I'd end up representing Australia on the biggest stage alongside Lecks and Beachy.

You never know where football can take you. I mean, every Socceroo starts somewhere, right?

And I reckon Melbourne City Football School is a pretty great place to start.

START THEIR JOURNEY

This winter, football dreams feel closer.

The World Cup has a way of making football feel bigger. For young players watching from home, that spark can start on a local pitch, with friends, a coach and one session that makes them want to keep going.
