'''Marco Freixa Ruiz''' ({{wp|Help:IPA/English|freɪ:ʃʌ}}; ''FRAY-sha'', born 18 February 2000) is a [[Veleaz|Veleazan]]-[[Qal'eh|Qalehi]] professional footballer who plays as a winger and forward for [[Qal'eh National League]] club [[Borar]] and the [[Qal'eh national football team]]. Considered one of the best upcoming footballers in [[Aeia]], Freixa is known for his pace, dribbling ability and finishing finesse.
 
Freixa was introduced to the public eye by his hometown club FC Serkhes 02, whose youth system he has risen up in and become renowned in the club's ranks for his exquisite skill and finishing ability. Freixa made his professional debut for the club in a match against Koluk Daraq in 2016, aged just 16. Getting regular first team football due to the club's lack of a suitable left winger, Freixa quickly became a household name when he finished 6th in the 2016 QNL top goalscorers, netting 14 goals that year. Freixa went on to lead Serkhes to two successive Qal'eh Cup semi-finals appearances, both against [[Dahrzor United]], the furthest the club has ever got in the domestic competition. Freixa's 2017 season went much the same and during the January transfer window of the 2017 season he relocated to mainland Qal'eh when he was sold to Borar for 45 million Zaar (~€20 million). Freixa led Borar to a Qal'eh Cup win and a second place finish in the 2017-18 season, breaking the top 2 deadlock between [[Dahrzor United]] and [[Al-Nadja]] that had lasted twelve years. Freixa was named QNL Young Footballer of the Year in 2018 and was runner-up for Qalehi Footballer of the Year in the same year, losing out to international teammate [[Mohammed Reza Qanbari]].
 
With 10 goals in 11 caps for the Qal'eh national team, including an historic hattrick against [[Juznia]] in his [[Copa d'Aeia|Copa]] debut<ref>https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=465895&start=25#p35832443</ref>, carrying the team to a 5-1 victory in the match, Freixa has the highest goals-per-game ratio in the entire team, with 0.91 goals per game, alongside 5 assists.
 
== Early Life ==
Marco Freixa Ruiz was one of five children born to a Qalehi father and Veleazan mother living in Mazar, a town in the Qalehi-administrated [[Kasahgan Peninsula]]. He often played futsal and street football on the streets of Mazar, and he credits his early exposure to the urban iterations of football with how he attained his renowned skill and dribbling ability. He went to his first FC Serkhes game when he was 4 and joined their youth program at the age of 7. When he began earning additional income when he was 14, his parents relocated to a wealthier part of Mazar, which allowed him to continue with the youth program and led him to being signed by the professional first team when he was 16, making his debut shortly after.
