Naveed the footballer

2024-05-13
Becoming a professional footballer in Hong Kong is no easy task already. For ethnic minorities, it is even more of a far-fetched dream. Meet Naveed, who was born in Pakistan and settled in Hong Kong at the age of five. Football was never a part of his early life, until he started joining the games in parks in Kwun Tong, and later joined the youth team of a local club "Eastern Long Lions". Slowly but surely, he discovered his passion. Along his journey, he grappled with questions like, "What can someone like me really achieve?"

Despite bearing expectations from his family and encountering language barriers, he persevered and steadily climbed the ladder to becoming a pro player. Naveed's goal is to one day play for the representative team of Hong Kong. What does football mean to him? What challenges do ethnic minorities encounter in their journey to becoming professional players?

And how do Naveed's teammates see him as an ethnic minority player? Join host Karan Cholia as they hit the pitch together.
