In three large cities 2 in Europe and one in Australia Eritrean soccer
players seem to be shining like the bisha gold coming in large quantities
these days. Let us start of with veteran Henok Goitom who is having an
outstanding season in the Swedish Premier league with AIK Stockholm. He
leads the league in scoring along with another player with 13 goals so far
as he has been scoring goal after goal in the past few weeks. Henok like
wine seems to be getting better with age as he is even now being touted to
represent the Swedish National Team which is gearing up for the European
cup taking place in 2016. Henok has electrified the fans and has AIK
competing at the highest level.
Meanwhile a new comer to the German Bundesliga with Entracht Frankfurt one
of the more popular teams in the 5th biggest city in Germany Joel
Gerezgiher seems to be comfortable with his play in the pre-season so far
scoring a couple of times while also contributing to his team's success.
Let us look for this young man as he makes his debut with Frankfurt's A
team this season. He has lots of potential and can be another international
Eritrean star in the very near future.
In the land down under Gol Gol Mebrhatu is back from a major injury and has
made his home in Sydney the largest city in Australia. Gol Gol is playing
with the Western Sydney Wanderers and already has registered a goal in his
debut with his new team. Gol Gol seems to be 100% ready to start shining in
the league down under. If he does not get injured chances are he will be a
great player with potential to score lots of goals. See link below.

In Eritrea the national team otherwise known as the Red Sea Boys will be
getting ready to face Botswana from the southern Africa region in a home
and away match for qualification to the 2018 world cup that will take place
in Russia. While the Eritrean premier league has been reformed this time we
hope to see players will be chosen from different regions of the country
where there is way too much talent. In a recent Jeopardy answer the "RED
SEA" boys were featured as an answer from Alex Trebek and the contestant
answered the question by saying "Who are the Eritreans?" Games are
scheduled for early October startin on the 5th and second game on the 13th.
This would be the first round.
With Eritrean cyclists showing the world that Eritrea deserves to be on top
during the Tour De France, it is also time for the world cup of cycling
taking place in Richmond Virginia as the UCI will hold it's biggest
international event starting on September 17th, 2015.
