Introduction
Introduction
My name is Max. I play football for the club Viktoria Berlin and I occassionally also start in running competitions for the club Silvesterlauf Trier. I started playing football around 2016. In 2022/23 I was a member of the football selection squad in my age group of the state of Berlin. From 2021 to 2023, I was also selected for the German Football Association's (DFB) youth development programme.
From 2023 to 2025 I lived in Dubai/UAE, where I joined Shabab al Ahli, Dubai, one of the top football clubs in the UAE and the Middle East. I played in the UAE National League with the club's U15 and U16 first teams. Seven of my teammates were youth national players in the UAE. I won several vice-championships with my team in the national league and national cup.
After returning to Germany from Dubai in autumn 2025, I rejoined my former club, Viktoria Berlin. I currently play with the U17 first team in the DFB U17 Bundesliga. I hold both German and US nationality, and you can find further information about me on fussball.de. Also take a look at the websites of my successful sisters, Carla and Elena, who are both into sports.
