On a muddy field, a pair of tiny feet races forward, carrying the weight of a big dream. This is the tale of 13-year-old Nur Mohammad Nurfat from Maheshkhali, who aspires to become a national treasure, akin to Jamal Bhuiyan.
His journey toward turning this dream into reality has already begun.
Growing up in the serene surroundings of Uttar Narbila, Nurfat’s life revolves around football. Hailing from the same area as Tawhidul Alam Sabuz, a former national team player and ex-captain of Bashundhara FC, football seems embedded in his roots.
Among 4,134 participants in the long-term training selection process of BKSP, Nurfat secured fifth place in the top 60—a testament to his immense talent and determination.
Football is not just a game for Nurfat; it is his language, his identity.
With the essence of Maheshkhali in his spirit, this young prodigy is capturing hearts with his passion for the sport.
His dream of representing Bangladesh on the international stage shines brightly in his eyes.
One day, perhaps, the world will be mesmerized by the magic in his feet. Nurfat, the small boy from Moheshkhali, reminds us all that reaching for the skies is never too far-fetched.
