An inspiring - LIFE
We asked you to write about people whose lives inspire you.
This week's competition entry is by reader Abbas Jabari, from Amman, Jordan.
I love stories where dreams come true. That’s why I’m writing about a man who comes from the place I live and who used to dream of playing football for his country.
Musa Al-Taamari was born in Amman, the capital of Jordan. From the age of six he dreamt of playing football in one of the big five leagues.
After just a handful of games, he was called up to the national team. Then, in the summer of 2018, he signed for APOEL Nicosia one of the
biggest clubs in Cyprus.
While he was playing for APOEL, Musa played against teams like Ajax and Seville in the Champions League and Europa Cup. During this time he continued to play for the Jordanian national team. After playing
for APOEL, he moved to Belgium for three years before moving to Montpellier in Ligue 1 in France.
Musa is a skilful player who usually plays on the wing. However, he also has a reputation for scoring goals and this is one of the things that helps him stand out. His journey from playing in Jordan to playing on the world stage show his passion for the game of football.
Musa Al-Taamari's dream now is to play in the FIFA World Cup Final. As his country has never qualified for the tournament this is definitely a dream he will want to fulfil.
