Nigerian talent Suleiman Mubarak, formerly of Right 2 Win Academy in Abia State, has expressed determination to break into the starting XI as he joins his Slavia Praha U19 teammates on their trip to Milan for their upcoming UEFA Youth League clash with Inter Milan U19.
Suleiman Mubarak, who made his debut in the competition two weeks ago—coming off the bench against Bodø/Glimt U19—says getting more game time is his focus. “It was a good taste of what European youth football demands,” he reportedly shared in reaction to being named in the travelling squad. “Now I want to show the coach I can start, not just come from the bench.”

Signed from Right 2 Win, his performances in training and youth matches have caught the attention of Slavia’s staff. The club described him as a promising central midfielder with good composure and dynamism, traits they believe can help between the lines.
Suleiman Mubarak’s inclusion in the squad travelling to Italy is seen as a stepping stone. He has already made strides by getting his first minutes in the UEFA Youth League; now, his ambition is clear: to crack the starting lineup in one of Europe’s most competitive youth fixtures.
As Slavia Praha U19 prepare to face Inter Milan U19, all eyes will be on whether Suleiman Mubarak’s work in training and in previous appearances will translate into a starting spot. Supporters back home in Nigeria are watching closely, hoping this is another step in the young midfielder’s upward journey.
