The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single bold step.

This is manifested in the life story of Mohamed Mahmoud Soph, a 19-year-old defender who currently features at PE Sports Club, a fourth-tier entity in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Born at Mahmoud and Hanan in El Mansoura Dakahlia Governorate (about 120 KM from Cairo), Soph is ambitious in his football journey.

“I am happy for my humble beginnings. I have a big dream of playing in one of the best teams in Europe” Soph states.

He is comfortable in all positions of the defence and has been key in PE Sports’ two matches so far against Amirald (1-1) and their 1-0 victory over Falcon at the El-Zafrana stadium.

Key of his attributes as a player is awesome positional sense, tackling, ball distribution with either feet and man-marking.

He is blessed with awesome vision, game reading antics and also an excellent header of the ball.

Soph is teammate to four Ugandans; Rashid Mukungu, Ronald Sempala, Derrick Raymond Onyai and Brian Mugisha.
