About Athlete
My name is Gabriel Simões Carnegie. I am a half Brazilian, half South African, soccer player and student who lives in Cape Town, South Africa. I have enjoyed playing sports my whole life, like: soccer, basketball, skating, surfing, cricket, volleyball, and tennis to name a few. But on top of my passion for sport and physical activity, I am also very interested in learning and acquiring knowledge about the world around me and those that inhabit it. My life long passion is soccer. For as long as I can remember I have been in love with the sport, and therefore it’s no surprise that I began playing club soccer at the age of 5. My dream is to one day play professionally at the highest level.
