Italian native Marco Micaletto is living his lifelong dream as a professional soccer player for the South Georgia Tormenta USL team here in Statesboro.
Micaletto was born in Rome, Italy where soccer is “pretty much a religion”. When he relocated to England at 8-years-old, he concluded that he wanted to make soccer his career. With the help of various academies and clubs, he began to sharpen up his skills and take the sport more seriously.
At the age of 18, he attempted to go pro in England. In such a soccer heavy environment, Micaletto did not succeed.
