Hi! My name is Italia Ramos, I am 14 years old and in 8th grade. I live in Douglas, Arizona and play soccer. I was just selected to play in Arizona's Olympic Development Program 2010 team at the 2025 Far West Regional Championships in Mesa, AZ on January 3rd-5th.

The Arizona Olympic Development Program (ODP) is dedicated to identifying, developing, and nurturing the state’s most talented soccer players. By providing high-level training, competition, and exposure to regional and national opportunities, Arizona ODP helps athletes reach their full potential on and off the field. Arizona ODP is proud to be a part of the state’s soccer development pathway and is committed to fostering a love for the game while preparing players for future success.

I am doing this Go Fund Me to help me and my family with travel expenses, tournament fees, and regional camps. Any donations will be a blessing. I started playing soccer in AYSO at 5 years old. The more time passed I fell in love with soccer. I played for my dad's travel team for two years and worked hard to be the best I can be. Then, in 2023 I finally moved to club soccer along with 5 teammates from Douglas. We currently play for Southern Arizona Cardinals Soccer Club in Tucson, AZ. It has been amazing playing for our club! I recently tried out for the Arizona ODP pool trainings and made it. I did very well and worked hard to get selected for the AZ ODP team. I am very excited and grateful for this awesome opportunity to help represent AZ especially our small town of Douglas! Thank you all in advance! God bless you all and Happy Holidays!
