Wetin dey happen for football world? Stephen “Kiki” Ramos don become the first Haitian to ever wear Argentina shirt for youth national team. The 17-year-old striker bin make im debut for Argentina Under-17 side for a 2-1 friendly victory against Ecuador. Dis na big achievement, no be small thing at all.
Ramos wey dem born for Haiti for 2009, bin relocate to Argentina with im adoptive parents when e dey just nine months old. Dat time na after the terrible 2010 Haiti earthquake wey shake di whole country. Di boy don grow for Argentina, and e don join Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield youth system where e don score 12 goals for di youth squad.
Diego Placente, wey be di manager of Argentina Under-17 national team, don trust Ramos and give am debut for di U17 side. Di striker wey play as left winger, dem sabi am for im quick feet, explosive strength, and direct attacking style. Some people don compare am to Vinícius Júnior and Nico Williams because of im one-on-one abilities wey fit change game.
If Ramos eventually make am to di senior national team, e go become only di fourth black player in history to play for Argentina at international level. Di others before am na Alejandro de los Santos, Jose Ramos Delgado, and Hector Baley. Dis one show say Argentina dey open small for diversity, even though dem no too take advantage of players wey change allegiance.
Ramos bin play for Argentina Under-17 for di first time for di match against Ecuador. Di team win 2-1, and Ramos fit contribute to dat victory. Di young boy dey hope say e go later make im debut for di senior team for di coming years. But for now, e dey focus on im development for Vélez Sarsfield.
