Eyad MASOUD

Eyad Masoud had to flee Syria because of the war. With his family, he first reached Saudi Arabia and later ended up in New Zealand, where he claimed refugee status. He now trains and teaches at the AUT Millennium Sports Centre, part of the Auckland University of Technology, where he also studies mechanical engineering.

Despite a difficult two years, Eyad is committed more than ever to his training, and this allowed him to compete in the FINA World Championship in 2022 for the first time… but hopefully not the last
