That's some serious marketing potential!

Emir has dedicated everything to soccer. He started playing at the young age of 7, and by the age of 17, Emir signed his first professional contract for the biggest soccer club in Bosnia, FC Sarajevo. During that time, Emir took part in both the Europe league and champions league. He even played for the National Teams of Bosnia in the U18 U19 and the country's Olympic team. Emir was highly accomplished before even being 20 years old. Talk about his drive and commitment!

As a professional player, Emir had/has limited time to spend with his family and friends. When he moved from Bosnia, Emir was entirely on his own in a new country, knowing few people, and not speaking the native language.

"It wasn't an easy way, but that's all the price you pay if you want to succeed."

Emir's greatest accomplishments have been winning the Bosnian Championship and the Bosnian Cup, as well as playing in the Mediterranean games in Turkey, which is the second biggest competition after the Olympic Games. Emir also played for clubs in Greece, and currently plays and lives in Sweden.

He only continues to rise further from here. What's next for Emir? Follow him on social and find out! @eplakalo
