Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The 22nd FIFA Men\u2019s World Cup in Qatar kicks off this Sunday and continues through December, breaking from the established tradition of playing in June and July to coincide with the offseason in most European leagues.<\/p>\nAlthough South Sudan will not be part of the competitions, the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be one of a kind, featuring players of South Sudanese roots who earned call-ups to national teams in the foreign countries where they enjoy citizenship. The City Review looks at the athletes and their backgrounds.<\/p>\n
Awer Bul Mabil<\/b><\/p>\n
He scored one of the penalties that secured Australia\u2019s place in the competition.<\/p>\n
Australia was in Group D alongside Denmark, defending champion France, and Tunisia.<\/p>\n
According to Wikipedia, Awer Bul Mabil was born on September 15, 1995, as a South Sudanese refugee who grew up in Kenya, and is now a professional soccer player for La Liga club Ca\u0301diz. He is a member of Australia\u2019s national team at the international level.<\/p>\n
Mabil first began playing soccer at the Kenyan refugee camp at around the age of five, stating: \u201cWe would just go outside and start kicking around.\u201d \u201cIt was not structured, and there was little else to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
He made his senior debut at Campbelltown City (in the FFSA National Premier League) in 2012. Later that year, he was signed by Adelaide United in the A-League after outwitting many defenders in the FFSA National Premier League with his pace and dribbling skills.<\/p>\n
In February 2022, after being sidelined at Midtjylland owing to his unwillingness to sign a further contract after seven years in Denmark, Mabil was loaned to Kasmpas\u0327a in Turkey until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
In May 2022, it was confirmed that Mabil had signed with Spanish La Liga club Ca\u0301diz for four seasons.<\/p>\n
In August 2013, Mabil was called up by Australia for the COTIF Tournament in L\u2019Alcdia, Spain. The tournament was used by the FFA to prepare players for their successful 2014 AFC U-19 Championship qualification campaign.<\/p>\n
A citizen of South Sudan by birth, he was cleared by FIFA to play for Australia in March 2014 after a year-long process to obtain a birth certificate and gain exemption from FIFA eligibility rules due to his refugee status.<\/p>\n
He played for Australia in the 2014 AFC U-19 Championship, appearing in all three of their games against Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia.<\/p>\n
After showing impressive form with FC Midtjylland, Mabil was called up to the senior team for the first time. Participating in the Socceroos\u2019 first training camp under new coach Graham Arnold.<\/p>\n
Thomas Deng<\/b><\/p>\n
Thomas Deng is a professional footballer who plays as a central defender for the Japanese club Albirex Niigata.<\/p>\n
He was born on March 20, 1997, into a family of South Sudanese refugees in Nairobi, Kenya. He and his family were fleeing conflict in South Sudan and eventually resettled in Adelaide, South Australia, in 2003, when Deng was six years old.<\/p>\n
Club career<\/p>\n
Deng\u2019s first club was the Adelaide Blue Eagles. After the family moved to Melbourne in 2011, he made his senior football debut as a 16-year-old in 2013 at Western Eagles F.C. under then-manager Budala Barei-Nikic\u0301 in the Victorian State League Division 3.<\/p>\n
The following season, the youngster moved to nearby Green Gully SC, where manager Bob Stojcevski recruited Deng to play for the club\u2019s u20 side.<\/p>\n
He was eventually promoted to the senior team and made 13 first-team appearances in the NPL Victoria in 2014.<\/p>\n
Deng made his senior team debut for Melbourne Victory in the 2015 FFA Cup against Balmain Tigers.<\/p>\n
In June 2016, he moved to Jong PSV on a one-year loan deal. After making five appearances, he returned to Melbourne Victory at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
Following his performance at the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship, Deng left Melbourne Victory in January 2020 to join the Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds.<\/p>\n
He was part of the main squad of the Olyroos at the 2016 AFC U-23 Championship and put on an extremely impressive display throughout the tournament, garnering high praise from respected Australian pundits: Geoff Fullgrabe, Alan Vucenik, and Craig Foster.<\/p>\n
In October 2018, Deng was named to the Socceroos squad for their training camp in the UAE and a friendly against Kuwait.<\/p>\n
Garang Mawien Kuol<\/b><\/p>\n
Garang Mawien Kuol is one of the upcoming stars in the world of football.<\/p>\n
He was born on September 15, 2004, in Khartoum, to South Sudanese parents. At the age of six, he moved with his family to Australia as refugees, where they settled in Shepparton, Victoria.<\/p>\n
Kuol played junior football for the Goulburn Valley Suns and worked his way through their youth pathways before attracting the interest of A-League teams at the age of 16.<\/p>\n
Kuol signed a deal with the Central Coast Mariners Academy in January 2021. He made his debut for the Mariners\u2019 senior side at 17 years of age as a substitute in their 6\u20130 win against APIA Leichhardt in the 2021 FFA Cup on a substitute in their 6-0 win against APIA Leichhardt in 2021 FFA Cup on December 21, 2021, and scored seven minutes after coming on.<\/p>\n
On April 5, 2022, Kuol made his A-League Men debut and scored a goal in the Mariners\u2019 5\u20130 win over the Wellington Phoenix.<\/p>\n
Kuol was called up to an Australian under-20 talent identification camp in August 2022. In October 2022, he was called up to the Australian under-20 side for the 2023 AFC U-20 Asian Cup qualification matches in Kuwait. Kuol\u2019s coach at the Central Coast Mariners, Nick Montgomery, was critical of the selection, arguing that Kuol would have better chances of selection for the 2022 FIFA World Cup by playing consistently for the Mariners in the 2022\u201323 A-League.<\/p>\n
Kuol scored in Australia\u2019s second qualifying game, a win over India, with a long-range shot.<\/p>\n
In September 2022, Kuol earned his first senior national team call-up, being selected in the Australian squad to play two friendlies against New Zealand.<\/p>\n
