Wie sou kon dink dat ‘n seuntjie wat net sewe jaar oud is en uit Rotterdam kom, maar in Atlantis as “Die Skiem” bekend is, eendag sy merk op die hoogste sportvlak sou maak? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nie net het hy vir twee van Suid-Afrika se grootste sokkerklubs gespeel nie, maar ook al sy land op internasionale vlak verteenwoordig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yusuf Maart, of “Yusie”, soos hy liefdevol in Atlantis-sokkerkringe en deur sy spanmaats van Aberdeen FC en Jomo’s Power AFC genoem word, het sy voetbaldrome vroeg begin \u2013 op die sokkervelde van die Atlantis- plaaslike sokkervereniging en die Suid-Afrikaanse Sokkervereniging (Safa) Kaapstad, waar hy as junior \u00e9n senior gespeel het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy deurbraak het gekom toe afrigters van Orlando Pirates hom tydens die Safa- nasionale kampioenskap in Gauteng raakgesien het, waar hy die Wes-Kaapse provinsiale span verteenwoordig het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maart was destyds by Aberdeen FC geregistreer, maar het vir Jomo’s Power AFC in die streeksreeks gespeel \u2013 ‘n oomblik wat sy pad na professionele sokker oopgemaak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sedert daardie eerste tree vorentoe het Maart tot ‘n nasionale ikoon gegroei. Vandag pluk hy die vrugte van daardie vroe\u00eb toewyding \u2013 ‘n ontwikkeling wat gedra is deur die onwrikbare steun van Aberdeen FC en Jomo’s Power AFC, wat sy talent geslyp en hom opgelei het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 bevestiging van sy oordrag na SV Ried, ‘n Oostenrykse klub, het WeskusNuus <\/em>met Maart gesels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Di\u00e9 voormalige Kaizer Chiefs-kaptein het met sy beslissende doel in die Nedbank-beker-eindstryd teen Orlando Pirates nie net n\u00e1 tien jaar silwerware vir Amakhosi huis toe gebring nie, maar ook ‘n nalatenskap gebou wat Atlantis-jeugdiges lank sal bly inspireer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Ek speel nou vir SV Ried, ja, maar elke doel, elke pass, elke wen … dis vir Atlantis \u2013 vir almal wat my opgehelp het toe ek nog net ‘n seuntjie met groot drome was,” het Maart ges\u00ea.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n N\u00e1 sy besluit om in Suid-Afrika te bly terwyl Kaizer Chiefs op ‘n voorseisoentoer gegaan het, is sy internasionale skuif nou ‘n werklikheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vir Kaizer Chiefs is dit ‘n terugslag net so voor die 2025-’26-seisoen, want Maart, wat in 2022 van die Sekhukhune United-klub af aangesluit het, het ‘n kernrol in die middelveld vervul en was ‘n leier van formaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Van Atlantis na SV
