Welcome to The One Soccer Nation Podcast! In this episode, we're joined by Samantha Chang, a dynamic center midfielder currently playing for HB Køge. Despite overcoming an ACL injury that sidelined her during her freshman year in college, Samantha's resilience and talent have propelled her to represent Canada in numerous prestigious tournaments, including the CONCACAF Women's U-15 Championship and the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. Transitioning from playing domestically to joining Portuguese club Torreense and later signing with HB Køge presented unique challenges, but Samantha's adaptability and determination shine through. We delve into her emotions behind scoring debut goals for both clubs.
