EJ's Dream: From Miami to Barcelona

Hi, my name is Emmanuel (EJ) Fuller, and I’m 13 years old.

Soccer isn’t just a sport to me, it’s my way of life. It’s where I feel the most alive, the most focused, and the most like myself. When I step onto the field, it’s like everything else fades away. It’s where I find my strength, solve my problems, and feel closest to my purpose.

I believe this passion and talent I have is a gift from God, and I don’t take it for granted. I’ve worked hard, stayed committed, and put my heart into every moment — and now, something amazing is happening.

I’ve been recruited to join the 2011 Pro Team A with FC Barcelona Academy in Miami! This is the highest competitive level at one of the world’s most respected youth academies. I’ll be training at KIPP Miami fields, competing in elite local and national tournaments, and if I continue giving it my all, I’ll have the opportunity to travel to Barcelona, Spain, to train at their world-famous academy, La Masia.

When I found out I was selected, I was overwhelmed, proud, excited, nervous, and thankful. Every early morning, every tough loss, every long practice… it was all worth it.

But this dream comes with financial challenges, including training fees, travel, uniforms, gear, and more. That’s why I’m reaching out and asking for your support.

️ Our goal is to raise the needed funds by June 27th, 2025 to officially secure my spot and be part of this next chapter. Time is short, but I believe with God’s help and your support, we can make it happen!

More than anything, I want to grow as a player and as a person. I want to learn from the best, represent my community, and make everyone who believes in me proud.

God has opened this door for me, and with your help, I’m walking through it with faith, focus, and a grateful heart.

Thank you for being part of my journey.

Let’s make it to Barcelona together.

With all my heart,

EJ Fuller
