Meet Ares

Wayzata, MN – Ares Amani, a sophomore at Wayzata High School and a straight-A student, has received an unprecedented invitation for a two-week tryout with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Cruzeiro competes in the prestigious Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top tier of Brazilian football, and the Campeonato Mineiro, Minas Gerais’s premier state league.

This remarkable opportunity follows Ares’s recent selection for the La Liga Select Showcase in Madrid, Spain—an exclusive event where only the top 1% of U.S. soccer players scouted compete to earn a La Liga Academy League spot. For Ares, the invitation to Cruzeiro represents a dream on par with La Liga as he continues his journey toward professional soccer.
