Benjamin Šeško’s story is one of hard work, big dreams, and never giving up. Born in Radeče, Slovenia, he grew up in a football family but refused to play in goal like his dad — instead, he wanted to score goals, not save them. From smashing in wonder strikes as a kid, to scoring 59 goals in just 23 games as a teenager, to making history with Slovenia’s national team, Šeško’s rise has been nothing short of incredible. This episode of Football For Kids takes you through his inspiring journey: from Red Bull Salzburg to RB Leipzig, to breaking Bundesliga records, and now stepping out at Old Trafford as Manchester United’s new striker. ⚽🔥 Discover how Benjamin Šeško turned his talent, determination, and love of the game into becoming one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards. Perfect for kids, parents, and football fans who love hearing the real stories behind the stars. 👉 If you love football, you’ll love this episode.
