Faraji Ramani learned soccer in a refugee camp, now he has his first collegiate goal

Posted Oct 6, 2026
On the dirt field where Faraji Ramani grew up playing soccer, boundary lines are painted on just half the pitch. Thirty-five players share one ball, each one reusing their jersey every day and washing it every night. That is football at Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi. In an area originally meant for 12,000 refugees, more than 50,000 people reside. (Daily Tar Heel)
