Malik Owolabi-Belewu, once known as Justin at our club returns to the Pod in a powerful full-circle moment.

From his early days at Whitecaps London Soccer Club based in London Ontario to playing professionally in Italy, the UK, and now as a starting centre-back with Forge FC in the Canadian Premier League, Malik has built his career with grit, resilience, and purpose.

In this special episode, recorded just before Forge FC faces the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Canada Cup, Malik opens up about the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

And what makes this even more meaningful? Over 200 of our youth players will be traveling to Hamilton to watch him take the field against his former club.

This is more than a match — it’s a moment of inspiration for every young player dreaming big.
