ICYMI: Calgary's Adekugbe family excited for World Cup journey yyc
Loud and proud. Cheering on their son, Sam, and backing Canada with patriotic song. And, of course, living up to their motto of being ‘Adekugbe Strong’ at the World Cup of Soccer.Article content
“We’re equally proud of all our kids — Sam, Elijah, Debbie, Abigail, Ruth — but Sam seems to be the highlight right now.”The 27-year-old Calgarian and current Turkish club star joins former Cavalry FC defender Joel Waterman , Steven Vitoria , Alistair Johnston , Richie Laryea , Kamal Miller and Derek Cornelius in patrolling Canada’s own zone and helping protect the net.
“Faith also plays a big part in this,” continued Dee. “The faith that we have not only in God, but in ourselves, that we really can do what we set our minds to do if you believe in yourself and take advantage of every opportunity that you’re given and maximize it.Adekugbe has done just that. Adekugbe’s ‘thing’ has included being a poster boy for that massive qualifying triumph over Mexico nearly a year ago to the day.
Adekugbe is a veteran of Canada’s national team, having played 33 games with the side and having fought hard to reach this proud moment. His journey has taken him from minor soccer in Calgary, to Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps and onwards to Brighton & Hove Albion of the English Premier League, IFK Goteborg of Sweden’s Allsvenskan and on to Norway’s top loop — the Eliteserien — with Vålerenga Fotball in Oslo before joining Hatayspor in 2021.
