Help Me Chase My Dream: Soccer Trials at Spanish Academy Levante ⚽

Hi everyone,

My name is Lihle Simelane and I’m reaching out to ask for your support in pursuing a life-changing opportunity that could bring me one step closer to my dream of becoming a professional footballer.

Recently, I was offered a chance to attend soccer trials at the prestigious Spanish Academy Levante in Spain—a top-tier academy known for developing talented players and providing a real pathway into the world of professional football.

This opportunity is more than just a trip. It’s the next step in a journey I’ve been working towards for years—training, sacrificing, and dedicating everything I can to improve as a player. Being invited to a trial of this caliber is not something that happens every day, and it’s a sign that all the hard work is starting to pay off.

However, I’m facing a financial challenge that I can’t overcome alone.

The total cost to attend the trials is €3,500, which covers travel, accommodation, training, and trial fees. So far, I’ve managed to raise €500 on my own through part-time work and help from close friends and family, but I still need €3,000 more.

The deadline to make my decision and secure my spot is the end of May, and I’m doing everything I can to make it happen.

That’s why I’m turning to you—my community, friends, and supporters—for help. Any contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to this dream. Even sharing this story could make a difference.

If I’m able to go, I’ll give it everything I’ve got. I want to represent not only myself but everyone who believes in me and helped make this possible.

Thank you so much for reading, supporting, and believing in my dream.

With gratitude,

Lihle Simelane
