9-year-old soccer player attends Barca Academy | Guam Sports


With hundreds if not thousands of applicants desiring a spot to attend the Barca Academy soccer camp in Taipei, Taiwan, 9-year-old Zidane Mindo was one of 84 participants accepted and invited to the summer program.

Barca Academy is the official academy of FC Barcelona, a professional soccer club based in Barcelona, Spain, that competes in the La Liga Organization.

Since the age of 5, Zidane Mindo has been immersed in a relationship with soccer that started with weekly training sessions and became daily dates on the pitch.

“As his father, I can honestly say he has always been positive to train and never complained or canceled,” said Jeff Mindo, Zidane’s father and owner of Z-PRO Youth Soccer Center located in Tamuning.

“I don’t know of too many children that can wake up at 5:45 a.m. every day to train with a good attitude,” Jeff Mindo said. “The work ethic you can instill in your children early on can determine how successful and happy they can be in life.”
