"Fulfill your dreams, don't give up"

Rebaz Mohammed migrated from Kurdistan Region, Iraq in 2012. When he arrived in United Kingdom, he did not speak a word of English. Now, he has become one of the best freestyle footballers, and four times Guinness World Record Holder.

Despite the language barrier Rebaz Mohammed quickly adapted to the way football was played in the UK and played at a Semi-professional level for 3 years. He became two times Regional College champion before he found his new passion through YouTube videos which made him quit regular football to pursue his new career as freestyle footballer.

"I had to decide one of them to be professional and I saw no one in the Kurdish community ever made it to pro, so I decided it would be a good opportunity to represent both the UK and Kurdistan."

He told SBS Kurdish exclusively that he is now training to compete in the next Guinness World Record hoping to become a holder for many more times. He loves representing both the UK and Kurdistan at international competitions.
