Owais Khatib '16 Recruiting Profile

I am from Mumbai, India. I completed my Bachelors in Architecture Degree from NMIMS Balwant Sheth School of Architecture, Mumbai in the year 2020. Since then my focus has been on soccer, after training in acadamies and experiencing soccer in multiple countries (Portugal, Czech Republic, Qatar) I signed with Rajasthan United FC playing in the I-League (2nd tier of Indian foorball) in October 2022, i hoped to make my professional debut in the 2022-2023 season but due to some unexpected turn of events I could not be registered for the league. I have been training with the team since October 2022, I have grown as a soccer player by training with the best players in the country and my time here has also taught me how to be patient when things do not go as you have planned. I believe everything in life happens for the best and this setback of not being able to play the pro league turned out to be the reason I turned back to my dream of playing University Soccer in the USA while study for a masters degree as a student athlete
