Professional Footballer | Former NCAA Division I Player
Habib's football story starts on the streets of Nigeria. After his family returned to Canada, he entered organized football at age 7 — six months later he'd joined Vaughan Soccer Club, where he spent the next 11 years developing across every position on the field.
In 2019, he committed to NCAA Division I soccer at Jacksonville University, winning an ASUN Championship as a sophomore and making his debut in the 2021 NCAA D1 College Cup. He went on to transfer to Seattle University, where he won the WAC Conference title in 2023 and helped the team finish the regular season ranked #9 in the country, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a BSc in Kinesiology.
His professional career began in 2024 in Austria's 3. Liga (Regionalliga West), before stops in Albania's Second Division and Estonia's top-flight Premium Liiga — a path from grassroots football in Canada to the professional game in Europe.
H2 Soccer exists to give the next generation of players access to that same standard — training that treats technical ability, tactical understanding, physical preparation, and mental resilience as one connected system, not four separate boxes to check.
"H2 is built on the way of the Militérian — the warrior mindset of fighting each day to become your best self, across the technical, tactical, physical, and mental game. Stronger than yesterday. That's the H2 philosophy."
