The youth player born in Haiti spoke one-on-one and described the emotional moment when he found out about his call-up to the Albiceleste squad.

A school video call and a surprise that changed his life. Kiki Ramos was in the middle of a virtual Math class when his phone started filling up with notifications that completely disrupted his routine.

The first sign came from his fitness coach, who sent him an unexpected congratulatory message. Right away, his friends joined in with a stream of texts, which left the footballer completely intrigued.

When he carefully checked the screenshots they were sending him, the forward spotted the official letterhead of the Argentine Football Association. However, his nerves got the better of him the first time he read the document.

“At first I misread the last name and thought they had made a mistake. When I read it properly, I couldn’t believe it,” the player confessed. The excitement was so overwhelming that he immediately interrupted the virtual class to go find his family.
