A huge thank you to Loulua Zawawi for her assistance with the research material for this episode, as well as for her time and the original idea behind its creation. It is greatly appreciated.

In this powerful and thoughtful episode of Football For Kids, we explore why football creates such big emotions — from last-minute winners and stadium goosebumps to moments where feelings spill over. Inspired by real messages from families, this episode helps children understand anger, frustration, and excitement through a simple brain framework — The Owl, The Baboon, and The Lizard. We also address respect, kindness, and why racism is never acceptable in football or in life.

In this inspiring episode of the Football for Kids Podcast, we tell the incredible true story of Eduardo Camavinga — the Real Madrid and France superstar whose journey began far away from the bright lights of football’s biggest stadiums.

Born in a refugee camp in Angola after his family fled war in DR Congo, young Eduardo’s life started with challenges most children could never imagine. But through courage, family strength and a love for the game, his dream began to grow — from the streets of Fougères in France to the world stage of the UEFA Champions League.

We explore how Camavinga switched from judo to football, the coaches who spotted his talent, and the moment he burst onto the scene with Stade Rennais at just 16. You’ll hear how he became one of France’s youngest internationals ever, signed for Real Madrid, and helped the club lift Europe’s biggest trophy.

Packed with shoutouts, big moments, resilience and life lessons, this episode shows kids and families that where you start does not decide where you finish.

Perfect for young football fans aged 6–12, car journeys, bedtime listening and screen-free family time.

If your child loves football, dreams big and never gives up — this one’s for them. ⚽
