By Shani Silver & Kelsey Kreiling

Jalil Anibaba, Athlete
It was about a year ago today that Jalil Anibaba was scoring his first professional goal as team member of the Chicago Fire. Jalil was born in Lagos, Nigeria but grew up in Davis, California after his family immigrated. He spent three years playing in California before transferring to North Carolina and eventually being drafted to the Chicago Fire in 2011. Catch Jalil on the field with their match against Houston on April 15!
