This is somewhat old news but while looking at some of the sports articles on the Croatian Times, I thought this was noteworthy enough to post about it here.
Cheona Edzerza is from the Tahltan tribe in British Columbia, Canada and is interested in playing for defending HNL-1 and Croatia Cup champion Dinamo Zagreb.
The 14 year old arrived in Zagreb in late March to train with the club's under 15 squad.
Croatia Times reports that the player is "allegedly extremely talented." Edzerza was part of the Native American British Columbia team that won the championship at the North American Indigenous Games last year in which he scored the golden goal in overtime to win the championship.
Edzerza was interested in furthering her career and found Dinamo Zagreb online and impressed with what he saw. Edzerza told "Sportske novosti" ("Sports news"), a daily Croatian sports news source, that he is "happy to be in Croatia after having informed myself about Dinamo on the internet, and I was thrilled by what I saw. I will give my best to show what I can do in order to stay with Dinamo. I want to have a great career, and I am already dreaming about playing for Dinamo in Maksimir Stadium."
He spent two weeks in London before arriving in Zagreb.
Could this be a new trend over at Maksimir? Ever since Eduardo da Silva signed with the Zagreb-based club, Dinamo signed a few more Brazilians to the club. With Edzerza's interest in a Croatian club, could we be seeing more Native American Indians playing in Croatia and the rest of Europe?
