6 February 2014 - FC Utrecht Dormitory & Training Complex
The morning of February 6th arrived with special significance that extended far beyond the usual rhythm of training and academic commitments. Amani's seventeenth birthday coincided perfectly with the 37th day of the year, a numerical symmetry that matched his jersey number and seemed to symbolize the remarkable journey that had brought him from Mombasa to the heart of European football.
The dormitory had been quietly preparing for the celebration throughout the week, with teammates and friends organizing a surprise that reflected both the milestone's importance and the collaborative spirit that had become central to their shared experience. The balance between personal celebration and professional responsibilities would define the day's activities.
