What is the biggest dream for each professional athlete and player of any sport? Yes, it is a participation in the final of the main worldwide competition. This weekend gave us the most anticipated final of the European Champions League. Millions of people were watching this game on television, in stadiums, in pubs etc. And most of them would like to get the same feelings as the players.

Nothing is impossible! Turn on all of your imagination and the anthem of the Champions League to increase motivation and lift your body up from the couch and go to play with your friends or community members.

If you do not have enough friends who are interested, you can join a local soccer (European football) group on social media or create one by yourself as I did. I visited a regular community meeting at the Central Park of the City where I settled in with my family a few months before. I met some people who were living there for years and asked them about that. They told me several ways to find the group of soccer players in the city. But I did not have a permanent schedule at work and left this for a better time.

Then, I began volunteering for the community and for my motherland at the community center. And I met some guys there who also like to play soccer. A couple of weeks ago I got two invitations for two different groups and many options to play. I did not even ask them to add me.

Also, you can try to find some soccer fields in your town. Mostly all the weekends the fields are busy, and you can find your “dream team “! Blow them away! The magic of the game is almost close to you!

This game does not require any special equipment or skills. You just need to understand the basic rules to start and everything else will come during the game. Before you start, you have to prepare yourself for the game. The most important things are stretching and warming the muscles up to avoid any injuries. Here is a great way to keep your body in shape! Also, no less important reasons to play soccer are the interaction with people, new friends, networking opportunities, and being outside of a building or a car and keeping moving. Moving is our life!

Just play and enjoy!
