Fashion Sakala is living his dream, rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest talents in world football, a reality that hit home when he faced Karim Benzema’s Al Taee on Friday.
The Al Feiha forward, who cut an emotional figure after the match, is still processing a journey that has taken him from the dusty pitches of Chipata to the pristine greens of oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
“I am now sharing the pitch with players that I’ve been idolizing and drawing inspiration from throughout my own journey.
“Meeting Karim Benzema was very special and remains one of the highlights of my career,” Sakala posted on his Facebook page.
