Emanuel Foghis
I started out playing football in Felnac. Football has since taken me to the UK, across Europe and Asia, and now back to Arad.
My story
I started as a footballer at VI-FE in Felnac, a village in Arad county.
Football then took me to the UK, to Loughborough University, a top sports university.
After that I travelled across Europe and Asia, working at the crossroads of IT and football.
Most recently I grew KDH Football Academy in Kuala Lumpur. After about two years there, I decided to come back and do something for my country and my community.

Why I came back
I believe in football, and in what Romania can achieve in the next 10 to 20 years.
Banat Football Academy is where I start: English first, so that a child from Arad can step into international football ready for it.
