Kazbek Tambi, Director of NYCFC Girls Academy, joined the club in 2017 equipped with a wealth of soccer knowledge and experience.
Growing up in Northern Jersey surrounded by a diverse group of nationalities, the one thing they all shared was a love of soccer. Tambi used to play pick up games with his brothers and other kids around his neighborhood, which sparked his passion for the game. He would find himself watching soccer on the weekends and trying to surround himself by the sport in any way possible.
“Watching things like the World Cup, with players like Pelé who was one of my idols and a world-renowned figure back then,” he said.
