MANILA: Shane Clemente left the Philippines with a dream of becoming a professional footballer. Little did he know that joining his brother in the UAE would catapult his career into playing for a club in Spain.
Clemente, now 21, moved to Dubai one year ago to find better opportunities for training than what was available back home, where the most popular sport has since time immemorial been basketball.
Brought up in Malabon, a city 10 km from the capital Manila, he started to play football on the streets.
