“I played football for six years” ― Kim Kardashian speaks on early career
The ex-wife of Kanye West and American reality star, Kim Kardashian, has disclosed that she played football for six years but had to quit because she wasn’t good at the game.
The 42-year-old media personality, who spoke on the sideline of the Inter Miami vs Cruz Azul Leagues Cup match at the DRV PNK Stadium, on Friday, said she wasn’t good at football but loved the game.
She also noted that she played as a goalkeeper and centre-forward for six years before quitting.
Sportkeeda quoted the TV star as saying; “I played soccer for five or six years. I was a goalie and a center-forward. I loved it, so I’m happy that my boy loves it and that we can come and hang out.
“They’re so excited and that just makes me so excited. I’m happy to be here with Victoria and David and everyone”.
Kim and her children were among some select celebrities that were present to watch Lionel Messi’s debut for Major League Soccer club, Inter Miami.
The SKIMS founder, 42, shared a sweet clip of her 7-year-old Saint and a friend meeting his sports idol Messi, 36, as they watched the Inter Miami player’s first game at DRV PNK Stadium in Florida.
In a clip shared on her Instagram Story, Kardashian filmed Saint with a friend standing on the pitch to the side as Messi approached while making his exit. “Messi! Messi! Messi!,” they were heard calling.
Messi then stopped to take a photo with Saint’s friend and afterwards, began taking one with Saint. “Best day of their entire lives,” Kardashian captioned the clip.
The excited pair who had donned Messi soccer shirts for the occasion were seen in another Instagram Story video jumping up and down and hugging each other afterwards. Saint then threw his head back and shot his arms up as fireworks went off at the stadium.
The young soccer fan also received a signed shirt from Messi, which Kardashian snapped a photo of and shared on her Instagram Story.
Kardashian said she brought son Saint — who she shares with ex Kanye West — to the Inter Miami game as he is “obsessed with soccer.”
“I will do anything for my babies,” Kardashian told Major League Soccer. “So I traveled the world. We do soccer trips. All summer, we’re going to different exhibition games.”
