Roda Antar

Roda Antar's story is the part that grabs me. Born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, he went on to captain Lebanon, a crossing of roots and nationality that most careers never touch. Debuting at seventeen and standing 189 cm, he had the physical tools, but staying in the game as a manager after retirement is what signals genuine love for the sport rather than a paycheck. Carrying a flag that is not the one you were born under takes real conviction. I have a soft spot for these boundary-crossing journeys, and his reads as one of the more quietly remarkable ones.
