Right from the very start, they’ve consistently been there for me — not just in sports, which is my passion, but in every important aspect of my life. Their ongoing and reliable support in helping me find my first professional club, as well as navigating the complex visa process, has been nothing short of incredible, and they’ve genuinely made a profound difference in shaping my journey.”

In 2019, when Chris Vermeeren first saw Luna’s backhand, a connection began that transcends sport and inspires me deeply. Chris has been more than an ally in football and tennis — a companion, a leader, and proof of how shared passion creates impact. Together, we’ve made decisions that strengthened Luna’s path, reaffirming the core values of sport: effort, community, and purpose. Thank you, Chris, for your friendship, trust, and believing in the power of a dream.
