Football lovers are in for a treat over the coming weekend, with Dutch football free-styler Soufiane 2Zani putting on three performances in Valletta, Sliema and Bugibba.

2Zani (Touzani by birth), who has played professional football and been made a character in the computer game FIFA Street 2, will be performing football tricks to the joy of the spectators. Tricks he has been developing and practising since childhood.

All those who love the art of ball handling will be treated to a 45-minute session of amazing ball control, creativity and style, which have attracted and mesmerised spectators as far flung as India.

Young Touzani’s talent can be seen for free tomorrow in Great Siege Square, Valletta at 12.30pm, Saturday 7 June in Sliema, at Ghar id-Dud, at 6.30pm, and on Sunday 8 June in Bugibba Square at 11.30am.
