My name is Samer Nael Al Shorafa.

I play for Gaza Sports Club in Palestine.

I like football - it builds up my muscles and it is good for my body and my mind.

My favorite arabic teams are El Ahly from Egypt and Bayern Munich in Europe.

I especially like Ballack and Klose.

And the arab players Mohamed Aboutrika und Emad Moteab.

I play football because I want to go professional like the european and arab players.

That’s why I like coming to train here twice a week. I would even come more often.

I can also play with my friends here, too.
