Ibraheem Afazal’s football dream comes true with Bula FC signing

From watching his brother Nabeel Afazal play for Australian clubs from the sidelines to signing with Bula FC, 18-year-old Ibraheem Afazal's dream has come true.

Afazal says that signing a professional contract is a dream come true—not only for himself but for his parents as well.

He adds that with his parents’ constant support and encouragement, his path to the dream became clear.

Bula FC highlights that Ibraheem played for Mounties Wanderers FC (U9–U13) before stepping up to APIA Leichhardt FC (U14–U18), where his talent continued to shine on bigger stages.

Bula FC also notes that Afazal has already made his mark in Fiji colours, representing the Fiji U17 and U19, and earning Man of the Match honours at both OFC U17 and U19 levels.
